I worked on one issue with the magazine team; providing illustrations for a Fashion article, Patterned Illustrations, as well as several other elements such as illustrated frames for profile photographs. A variant cover Illustrated by myself was also created but never printed.

Under the tutelage of animator; Thomas Hicks, I was able to take part in creating an animation to music for the Manipulate Animation Festival that took place in Edinburgh. The animations were also showcased in the Lemon Tree, Aberdeen with accompanying Live Music. This involved great discipline and self motivation, to work to a tight deadline, while also balancing other projects and learning many new elements of animation.
