GUARDIANS OF THE WILD UNICORNS

Illustration in response to a workshop from Ladies, Wine, Design Edinburgh by Leah McDowell of Floris Books. She set us a cover design brief for this children’s adventure story by Lindsay Littleson, combining realism with action, mystery and folklore.

ADVENTURES OF A YOUNG NATURALIST

Book cover illustration in answer to a Creative Practice brief from The Association of Illustrators. 
I chose a memoir by David Attenborough, using a warm, limited palate and angular, sepia coloured line work to evoke the 1950s. The iconic figure of young Attenborough surveys an African landscape, surrounded by lush foliage and a few of the animals he encountered on his adventures around the world.

20 WALKS IN EDINBURGH

Another Creative Practice brief from The Association of Illustrators, this time calling for a pocket-sized, city walking guide with a hand-lettered title. I chose my home town, Edinburgh.
