BOOK ILLUSTRATION, FONT, DESIGN and LAYOUT

I was commissioned to create this fully illustrated family trail project for the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) and also National Trust at Montacute House, for a new portrait exhibition (2017 - 2019)

It was designed to support a new collection of historic NPG portrait paintings chosen by postgraduates of Bristol University, for Montacute House to display, to commemorate the centenary of Women's Suffrage 2018. Therefore, it is based heavily on 'strong women in history'.

I enjoy detail and artwork that shows you something new each time you look at it. There is so much to find in the Tudor portraits of this exhibition. So I incorporated this into my illustrations to give children and adults something new to find and wonder about, even after the Montacute House experience..

NT VISITOR REVIEW: One of the best trails for kids we have experienced at a National Trust property. It definitely got them looking around and we spent a good hour and a half in there, normally we'd last 20 mins tops!

ALBUM COVER DESIGN:

(DIVERS by Joanna Newsom)

This cover was designed for a BA project.

Inspired by Joanna Newsom herself and her dedication to her art, I researched all of the hidden stories and poems linked to the album and was heavily inspired by these alone. The finished cover, whilst ethereal in communication, represents many of the stories within the album.

ALBUM COVER DESIGN:

FACE YOUR FEAR

by Santiago Street Machine

This cover was created for a competition to design an album cover, promoted through social media.

I used my own photography of street art, illustration and Adobe Photoshop to create it.

I used the concept of ' looking into the face of evil' and whilst doing so, I thought about what the devil would  fear and concluded with the balance of good and evil; ying and yang. And this is where I came up with the two faces facing each other; almost  as a mirror image.
