    uniE621 'Night Time Fun' Children's Magazine Illustration
    Towards the end of my second year of study, I had the opportunity to create a short story for Vol. 68 of the children’s magazine Anorak. The theme of ‘Playgrounds’ provided the basis for a playful narrative, combining these underrated third spaces with curious UK animals to construct a connection between communities and local wildlife. Working in tandem with the client allowed the story to take shape while sustaining harmony with Anorak's brand identity, resulting in a creative children's story with hand-painted illustrations and colourful, lively characters. nature childrensbookillustration characterdesign illustration ink narrative handdrawn…

I chose to focus on the perceived threat of immigration in the UK and how this misconception is born from ignorance. With careful, creative decisions, illustration can be a powerful tool for communication; a universal language that requires only a glance to be understood. watercolour illustrator comicartist narrative sequentialillustration…

It details a tour of Wollaton Park’s local wildlife in Nottingham. scenedesign backgroundartist characterconcepts storyboardartist…
