Geeks ahoy! Full page illustration for MacFormat's Christmas Gift Guide. Quite fancy quite a lot of stuff on that tree myself!
This year I had the pleasure of illustrating MacFormat's annual Christmas Gift Guide. The AD (Alex Thomas) had a few ideas in mind based on a previous illustration of mine but was open to looking over some other sketches of mine, including doing some lettering. He's nice like that and always great to work with.
rough 1 - based very loosely on a previous illo
rough 2: its all gone a bit dickens
Rough 3: its a 50s thing
Rough 4: Christmas Tree - this one got the thumbs up
(don't think much of those rubbishly drawn presents though)
Illustrations and lettering for the opposite page
Some headings for other pages in the feature
Well done if you have made it this far down the post!
I also did the illustrations for an animated flash e-card for recyclenow.com, a national campaign to encourage...um... recycling. I know zero about flash, but I really enjoyed doing the illustrations for this one and it was a fun idea - decorating your tree with ornaments you can make out of household waste...
socks, tin cans, egg shells, yoghurt pots and jam jar lids all make a seasonal comeback I had a good time working with Torchbox, who did all the clever flash bit, and of course brilliant to be involved in such an important campaign!
