Just Finished a commission to illustrate a set of  images for an animation & advertising campaign for Defaqto.
They needed some images to  illustrate their  ‘1 to 5 Star Rating’ feature which covers the features in every financial product on the market, ranging from 1 Star (basic), to 5 Star (the most comprehensive).’

1-5 Star Camera Illustrations – Disposable to Top of the range Camera.

I illustrated all the parts of the animation which showed a woman coming into a shop wanting to buy a camera. She looks all confused as she is faced with too many options. But it all gets clearer when the cameras are separated into their 1 to 5 Star Ratings. 1 Star (basic throw away camera) and 5 star (top of the range camera with all the bells and whistles).

Woman parts and facial features

She leaves happily with the camera she wants.

Commissioned to illustrate many different varieties of suits. The features of suit included Single, Double Breasted, Peak, Standard, Long, Short, Standard and the list goes on. This was for an online application where you can pick and choose your suit preferences before you buy. The suit included the shirt, trousers and waste coat. Here’s a few examples.

Cut Away Colar With Standard Fastenings (Single Back Pleat), Long Single Breasted 3 Button Suit With Pocket Flaps (Back Side Pleats) and Single Pleated Trousers With Vertical Pockets (2 Buttoned Back Pockets)

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 it’s easy to update an xml file with new totals and flash doesn’t need to be opened again.
This was an old Flash thermometer so can’t show this online anymore, because Flash was discontinued, but here’s the original designs (with the Great Ormond Street colour palette). It was the top left one that was chosen.

Completed a small illustration to show a sponsored walk event for Great Ormond Street.

Designed the 2009 Christmas site. The brief was to use a printed brochure as inspiration and convert that onto the web. It needed to work as a shop be an easy and engaging journey for customers.
