A redo

Wow I really haven't been doing a lot creatively lately! O_O
Anyhow, I needed to sort out my portfolio for various reasons and ended up doing a re-gig on my space propulsion article image from a while back. I wasn't happy with it before and always preferred the character in the background to the one in the front so here's a re-arrangement without the silver surfer style character:

IP1 again

I worked on this editorial for IP1 a while ago but couldn't post it till the magazine came out yesterday.

Contact sheet

My first attempt at making a contact sheet for sending to art directors etc. This ones for my editorial work. I'm working on another for book cover design. :3

I talk too much

For a Psychologies article titled 'I talk to much.'
"Talking a lot can act as a shell in which to hide from other people, but also from oneself."

English vs Continental

Self-set. For a Waitrose Magazine article comparing the two breakfast styles.

Creative Block

A little illustration I came up with on the theme of creative block. Sometimes it's nice to draw something for no reason other than to draw.

Beam Riders

My last editorial for my hand-in tomorrow. Not entirely certain if I'm happy with this one yet. Need to stare at it for a couple of days! It's an article from new scientist.

Understand your couple type

My latest self-set editorial for the final major project. A second one for Psychologie magazine. This time about different types of couple.

New Habits for Old

Another self-set editorial brief from The Economist.

Think before you speak

My latest editorial project. An article from The Economist magazine about how distracted driving is becoming the new drink driving.

Editorials

Here's three more editorials I did a while ago but forgot to post! I edited them recently so thought I'd post them now. The first one is about how we've been looking in the wrong places on Mars in the search for alien life. The second is about how the seasons effect our emotions, and the third is about arab women leading revolutions in their countries.

Eggmag

An illustration for a competition for Eggmag for a double-page spread on the theme of importance of growing plants in the city for cleaner air, better quality of living and to help keep honey bees alive. As far as I'm aware I didn't win but I like the piece anyway.

Coalition

Came up with this idea while I was working on the previous editorial piece. I don't have an article to go with it but I thought it might make an appropriate image for an article from soon after the election, when everyone's reaction to the coalition was amusingly extreme.

Dictatorship.com

This is the first editorial brief I've set myself for my Final Major Project. I got a friend to pick the article at random and blank out the original illustration. It was a challenging article to translate into a visual idea but in the end it only took me a couple of days.
(obviously this is not a published piece of work, only mocked up so you can see how it would look.)
