Hand type has always been an interest of mine, I used to stray away from the formalities of type, partly down to my ineptitude and also because I prefer the aesthetic of hand type.Love the limited use of colour and how they have more impact than conventional typography. This is because the rendered piece seems more relatable on a humanist level as opposed to some type set on a page.

This is in relation to another live brief I am taking on, for the peugeot roof illustration we got through from John.The use of bright colour and hand type totally appeals to my personal interests and I feel as if I could approach it much more confidently knowing that such a simple design looks to bold and presentable.

Marcus Walters

Marcus’ work is the sort of inspiration I could have done with earlier on in relation to the Eureka! brief.The use of bold colour is similar to my own visual appraoch and the vector illustrations always translate well for editorial design. The magazine in context is Monocle.

Marc Vicens

Sounds incredibly shallow, but this image was used soley for the editorial piece on neuroscience for military application. Either as the centrefold illustration, or a full page piece.Using a soldier as the subject matter with all the relevant visual material to support the article, as some of my first attempts demonstrate.

Again, another image reference for a brief I’m tackling. The Heroes of Science brief in particular.It just gives me a rough idea for the image’s composition, as well as utilising some hand rendered/custom type to surmise the hero according to their particular field of expertise.

Robert Samuel Hanson

This canadian illustrator is another great example of the sort of editorial illustration I wish to take on for the Eureka brief.Bold colour, striking, high impact visuals translate well in terms of their semiotic interpretations.Probably will be acquiring the colour pallette from these images so I have a new set to work from, whilst not distancing myself from my own set of colours.

Another Eureka context post.This time in relation to the intelligent animals article, although I am still debating its relevance/importance to the nature of the content of Eureka.The use of texture is something I wanted to explore more, and also how to do it well. The problem is always trying to find decent textures at a high resolution.

Ivan Bravo

In particular context for my eureka editorial on military neuroscience, demonstrating the possible outcomes of augmented reality to determine destructive outcomes all in the name of science.

Oscar Lorens

Quite a selfish post, and someone to research further. I just like the image and the style is akin to my own, so naturally it is something I can include in my publication and used for inspiration for my personal work.

Jack Teagle

The don of nerdological interpretation. Almost all his work is related to comic books, sci-fi and anything nerdy. Often using nostalgic subjects as the main focus of his work. He will feature in my sci-fi/video games section looking at how the culture surrounding the topic has become a major focus for art/illustration.
