Asked to illustrate some objects to give some weight to a companies campaign message which would be mainly on a poster campaign but also an animated short. The message was to show they had lots more features than an ordinary company so i had to show this with the objects they gave. To demonstrate this they chose a snazzy vacuum cleaner with a dull dustpan brush, a lively cocktail / pint of beer and an electric drill / screw driver. Here are the finished images.

Vacuum cleaner & dustpan brush

The trickiest illustration was the vacuum cleaner. The first rejected vacuum cleaner looked too old and the second was too space aged. They were happy with this one.

cocktail & beer

After adding many more cocktail accessories they were happy with this…

Electric drill and screw driver

More buttons the better…

Had a look for an RSS feed icon but thought i could just as easy make my own. Here is the final version. If you want to use the icon take it and use it freely (icon shown on the right).

Been working on a Fundraising Thermometer. One with goals and one with just the amount raised. It works by pulling the amount/total from a text (xml) file. Handy because its easy to update an xml file with new totals and flash doesn’t need to be opened again.
