This image was recently completed for the good people at Print Week. The brief was quite specific requiring a character to be depicted receiving a huge amount of information in one go. So the Art Director and I came up with the approach of using one of my (simplified) stylised portraits and intertwining it with an almost Info-Graphics approach as to how the information is presented to the figure. Two colour ways were rendered, one for the cover and a 'blue sky' variant for the double page spread in the magazine. I really enjoyed this image as it allowed my to branch out a little with a more graphic and simplified answer to the problem. The client was very happy with the result which is always the mosy important thing.
The image can also be seen on the Little Chimp Society Website
Double Page Spread featuring the blue image....
The images as rendered and presented to the client...
This image as constructed in Adobe Illustrator, prior to Adobe Photoshop tweaks, colour swatches used as a basic guide only...
The icons were rendered on a separate document, again in Illustrator. Detail kept to minimum due to deadline and reproduction size.
Two sketches were presented, a profile and front facing portrait.
(-: Many thanks for taking the time to look through the project :-)
