Magazine Illustrations for Dobbies & Inner Circle

I've had lots of new editorial illustrations published recently. The first 4 are for Dobbies Magazine (available in Dobbies Garden Centres now) and the article is to encourage children to get into gardening. The projects were easy to make and fun and I wanted this reflected in my designs by including lots of little creatures to keep kids entertained (spot the bees, cat and naughty caterpillar!)

The next illustration is the front cover for Inner Circle, a client I've enjoyed working with several times. The theme of the issue and illustration was technology, in particular apps, so we've got apps for everything from dry cleaning to space ships! It was a really fun project especially making technology out of paper! You can see the whole issue here.

Volkswagen Facebook Illustrations

Last month I created 9 illustrations for Volkswagen's Swiss Facebook page, through my agent Illustration Limited. The client wanted a happy family of 4 and liked my textured collage style. I played around with bits of crumpled paper, clothes and envelopes to get the effect although I also used Photoshop for the detailed faces and other bits and pieces (there were 9 illustrations!)

The brief was to create a family in a series of different scenarios to promote the new Volkswagen Sportsvan. At the end of each post would be a question referring to the scene and the audience would be encouraged to get in touch with their suggestions to win a prize. The illustations are now live. https://www.facebook.com/volkswagen.ch?fref=ts
