Easy Set-up Guides

2007-12-30T10:48:00.006Z

I designed four illustrated easy set-up guides, folded posters which come included in the packaging for Orange products. These were completed following research and several rounds of usability testing, where I observed volunteers using prototypes of each guide. I also produced a style manual so that other designers could create consistent guides in my absence.

Here are two. Click on each image to see a larger version.

2007-10-26T18:28:00.006+01:00

Part of my graduate show was a children's book called 'Atlas Moth and the Orb'. The illustrations for this were made by creating and photographing 3D models of giant insects, Atlas Moth (the hero) and his three house-mates, Orb Spider, Doodlebug and Leafcutter Ant. I also used the models and set to produce a short animated film, voices kindly provided by my friends Phil Weyman, Paula Lewis and Paul Pilon.

Clubbing

2007-10-26T16:33:00.007+01:00

As part of my final year of my Illustration degree in 1997, we were set an exam project, the brief being a single word: 'Energy'

I chose to illustrate this as a series of images of people dancing, in a club environment. I first created a group of characters using flexible wire, each formed from a single piece where possible. I then placed these inside a photocopier, the resulting black and white prints included shadows where the wire shapes were not flat against the scanner bed. I re-photocopied these images onto different coloured paper, at different sizes, and collaged them all together to form a crowded club scene. I finally blackened the background to highlight the individual characters and added coloured ink stains to give the impression of multicoloured lighting illuminating the faces in the dark.

Here are some of the individual figures which made up the final illlustration:

Self-portrait as object

2007-10-26T16:30:00.006+01:00

The brief was to combine a self-portrait with an object that represented some aspect of your personality. For the object, I chose one of those games where you slide a number of square pieces around in a plastic frame, to represent my obsession with 'getting things in order', everything in it's place, etc. I started with a painting of my face looking 'thoughtful', photocopied it in colour, cut it into squares and pasted it onto one of the games I just described. I then muddled all the pieces up, and painted it again, from life.

Me, me, me...
