Vodka in Siberia - Contagious Magazine

In Contagious Magazine, Martin Lindstrom recently discussed the advantages for Brand Managers and CEOs to explore target markets first hand rather than staring at countless charts and graphs in order to direct their marketing strategies. The article focused on a trip Lindstrom had taken to Siberia where he spent his time drinking vodka with the young locals. This is the image I produced to accompany it.

Biomimicry - Diplomat Magazine

This latest piece was produced for an article in Diplomat magazine about the advantages of biomimicry. Some spiders building the tensioning wires on a bamboo and liana suspension bridge fit the bill quite nicely.

The Greatest Betrayal - Sydney's Child magazine

My first job over in the land of Oz, this piece was created for Sydney's Child magazine (also rolled out in regional variants in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and so on.) The article spoke about the devastating effects of bringing a new child home into what was previously a 1-child family and the feelings of betrayal that the eldest child feels.

Obviously due to the magazine's readership it forced me to be a bit more "mum-friendly" with it than I would usually approach things.

Taking my stand from Eugene Delacroix's "La Liberté guidant le peuple" here's the final result.

Royal Occassions at The Boathouse

Classy as ever we went with "Kate Loves Willy" as the header for The Boathouse's Royal Wedding celebrations. It ties in with a new brew by the local Skinners brewery who have done a special ale to commemorate the day by the same name.
















I've also been working on their new summer postcards recently too. You can see the final design below. Bizarrely they also turned out to be quite Regal without me thinking about it:

Facebook - An Inflation of Effectiveness - Contagious Magazine

Contagious Magazine recently discussed whether users of Facebook were consciously avoiding adverts placed on its platform by other brands. This was wrapped in the context of the brand managers as anglers and the users as fish, with facebook as the biggest fish in the pond. This is the image I produced which accompanied the article.

Introducing the DG-9000: The Future of Dog Grooming

My Mum and Dad have this enormous prize-winning Leonberger that takes days to wash and dry. As it's her birthday I thought I'd send over a card with a typically Heath Robinson/English Garden Shed solution to cut down her grooming time.
