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.

Top Sante Dreams Illustrations

I was asked back to create 2 more illustrations for this months Top Sante magazine. The feature I was given to illustrate was on dreams, taking control of them to solve problems, in therapy and  to wake up happier. The lady in the piece is managing to harness the power of dreams to  get over a relationship. In the second smaller illustration the same character is dreaming of a scenario she wants to solve so has taken an image of the problem to bed with her to help her mind focus on it when she dreams. The illustrations are in November's issue of the magazine.

Top Sante Magazine Illustrations

I was asked to create not one but two illustrations for this month’s Top Sante Magazine. The illustrations accompany an article entitled “New Year, No Fear” about gaining self confidence and self belief. The first image focuses on chucking out all the negative feelings, whilst the second is about taking a leap of faith. It felt like the perfect brief for my style! Here are the illustrations and an initial sketch too.
