Overview

Eleven illustrations grouped into three strands. A Bauhaus-inspired geometric set explores how far a composition can be pushed with circles, triangles and three flat colours. A character strand covers portrait and narrative work. A nocturnal strand studies artificial light – neon, billboards, candlelight – and is where the thinking behind the 'Bring Back the Night' film began.

Deliverables

What was produced

  • 01

    Three geometric poster compositions in a shared flat-colour system.

  • 02

    Four character pieces spanning vector portraiture and narrative scenes.

  • 03

    Four nocturnal cityscapes studying artificial and natural light sources.

Approach

How it was designed

  1. 01

    The geometric set is restricted to a fixed palette and a small shape vocabulary, so variety has to come from composition alone.

  2. 02

    Character work stays flat and line-led, keeping the pieces reproducible at small sizes and consistent as a set.

  3. 03

    In the nocturnal pieces, every light source is placed deliberately – the glow is the subject, not the atmosphere.

  4. 04

    The three strands share a saturation range, which is what lets them hang together as one body of work.
