Beyond Lies the Wub


One of my tutors kept saying it would be nice to have three covers for my Philip K Dick project rather than two. I had a bit of a gap in projects so I made another one for the first in the series of his collected short stories 'Beyond Lies the Wub.'

One Hundred Years of Solitude


This is my entry for the Penguin book cover competition. Possibly still going to edit the back a little as I've been trying to make the blurb more legible without losing the pattern in the background completely.

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.

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.)

From Stardust to Flesh






My second brief for my final major project: designing page layouts and cover for a chapter from 'The Faber Book of Science.' The chapter is called 'From Stardust to Flesh' and mainly explains the creation of elements within stars. This little booklet of images and text took me 4 days from concept to finished work.

Trisickle - 'Altitude'

I'm volunteering as an illustrator for Trisickle magazine. My first commission from them was to create four images for a short piece of creative writing for their blog, which is now up here: http://trisickle.wordpress.com/.

Book Covers



My first self-set brief for the final semester: book covers for two novels by Philip K Dick. Partially inspired by 60's posters.
