~ Sea Urchins Magazine ~
I have been hired as the official designer for the ongoing successful magazine series Sea Urchins.
The magazine focuses on an exciting and original view on all things to do with the sea and marine biology. Having been employed for the company I have had many amazing opportunities to create and design everything from fully designed page layouts and covers, to comic book characters and complete original animations. |
~ PAGE EXAMPLES ~
A small selection of pages from the series. All pages, templates and icons (apart from the logo sponsor's) have been created entirely by myself. |
~ BUSINESS CARDS ~
These are business cards I have designed for the Sea Urchins magazine company. They have been passed around to many sponsors and even to children as a form of membership-like cards.
|
~ COMICS AND CHARACTERS ~
I have been employed to design many characters and illustrations to represent the adventurous nature of the company mascots "The Super Marine Team".
Currently The Super Marine Team consists of 3 main characters by the likes of Spike the Sea Urchin, Stacey the Seahorse and Whoa the Whale. These characters are designed to inform the younger generation about the importance of the ocean. The characters feature throughout the magazine and have various appearances in comics and even animations. |

~ The Whale With Wings ~
|
I was hired to illustrate this charming children's novel. My design for Welly was based on the loose description which is told in the story. The Whale With Wings is a children's storybook which revolves around a young whale named Welly. Welly would love nothing more than to fly up to the moon, he spends his nights looking up to the sky and wishing it were possible. The story also consists of numerous sea life which I was asked design. The book has become very successful and received many positive reviews for the illustrations and is even available to purchase on Amazon. |
~ PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS AND CHARACTERS ~
These are a few smaller sea life drawings I have created which have been placed throughout the book.
|
The front cover shows Welly happily in his environment as he gazes up at the moon. I chose to use very warming colours which creates a welcoming and relaxing vision for children. I designed a silhouette themed page to go in the book as Welly flies to the moon with his sea lion friend cheering for him. As the moon is a strong focus of the story, I wanted to illustrate a page with a large view of it in the sky. In the story Welly undergoes a special transformation as he gains a set of magic wings. I designed Welly's wings to represent the form of an eagle like style with a strong sense of magic and fun to appeal to kids. |
