EB Magazine

For this recent commission I was given the idea rather than the copy. It was interesting to have to make a cliche work.

Wigtown Book Festival

I was recently commissioned to produce the cover for this years Wigtown Book festival brochure. The theme was focusing on the idea of Wigtown as a destination. People travel from near and far to be at the festival. Here is a mock up of the final open cover design.

These are various rough versions. At first I focused too much on my own colour palette with not another thought or research into Wigtown as a place. Overall these were way too 'tropical'.

Further roughs, addressing the colour ways but also started to look at the difference between the elements being quite fragnented in a flat space or more of a full landscape image.

Kaspersky Pure

Another little film for Kaspersky. They liked the last lot so much they asked for one more. This time they asked for the animation to have a more premium feel. That turned out to be adding a reflection.
