LIFESTYLE

VersatilePhotoshop and Illustrator are two examples of how computer technology can improve the output of today’s graphic designers.

Underpinning how innovative and different a design can be though is the inner vision of the creator. What a creator sees in their mind’s eye and their ability to make it real on a screen. It’s what drove my enthusiasm to study in and graduate from a Fine Arts background.

This illustration started life in coloured pencils. Not everything needed to be bolded. More subtle tones complement the sketchy linework.

And, with this image, by keeping that distinctive linework intact, I infused the picture with a variety of different moods and tones. Using watercolours over impermeable pen gives me the space to alter and enhance moods and tones according to the desired goal of the client.

What tone does your advert need to incorporate? What is the mood of the article you want reflected in the accompanying graphic work?

imagery or editorial work? ”“

Imaginative works, such as graphic novels, provide an opportunity to explore everything I love.The figure. Interesting objects. Landscapes, both imaginary and real, from a story or an idea.Symbolic or functional.I draw from my mind or from reference images or from life. I work first in pen, then finesse withwatercolour, Photoshop and/or Illustrator. Whatever achieves the outcome required.

Narrative Illustration

Stylistic variationsThe same basic design process

can be adapted using less aggressive lines to create more

sensitive imagery. Yet, even with this sensitivity, there’s

something intrinsically human to these drawings.

Thank you for your time
