Magazine Cover

This is a magazine cover that has recently caught my eye. I like the money theme, particularly the silver crease and the bold text. A great piece of Graphic Design and illustration!

Graphic Design: A user's manual

This is a book i've just bought called 'Graphic Design: A user's manual' by Adrian Shaughnessy. Its a book giving an insight into the world of Graphic Design, should be a good read i'm sure!

Design Week - Graphic Bedrock

This is the first job I did for Design Week for the Private View section of the magazine. The article was about posters being used as an effective way of campaigning for a general election.

Tsars

This is my Illustration for the September issue of Management Today. The article is about business Tsars, I wanted to depict the feeling of authority that Tsars have combining the feeling of regal tsars and someone mentioned in the text having been appointed government tsar Sir Alan Sugar.

First Commission!

I have just completed my first two commissions for Management Today magazine. The illustrations are for the 'Brainfood' section of the magazine- the articles are 'Do it right: Managing Interns' and 'Wordsworth: Tsars'. My first illustration for managing interns is a response to the title of the article using humour and a feeling of sensitivity whereas the second article 'Tsars' is a striking response with a feeling of power. The managing interns illustration will feature in the August issue of the magazine available to buy at Borders amongst other places. When the magazine goes to print I will post the images on my blog. (The image of the magazine above is from the July issue)
