Today, after having a lovely long lay in, I awoke to find a brown paper parcel from the postman…
Feeling very excited, I quickly opened the package to find not one but three copies of the latest magazine from Arup, A2, for which I have been producing freelance illustrations.

I am so pleased with the final result, and incredibly grateful to Matt Cox and the design team at Arup who have given me this opportunity.

wow… that came quick looks really nice I particularly like the Saturn one, and you definitely added something unique and interesting to the magazine well done x did you add that square paper in I don’t remember seeing it?
aww thank you Scott, and no, Matt added the squared paper to go with the retro theme 🙂 x
Really nice Dawn, awesome planets 🙂 I want to live on the on in the bottom right corner 😀 Planets are looking in quite an old style, like you see in Da Vinci’s time!
Bit disappoint by the use of apple products on number 7, being they are the worlds most unhelpful, useless at customer relations, selfish, dominating, down right crap company in the world 😉
They wouldn’t exist on MY planet I assure you Miss. Gardner!!!
Thanks Thomas!
Glad you like the planets, and I will agree with you on the apple thing for the new iphone but agree to disagree on all of the other apple products 🙂
Superb!! 😀 I love it!! xx
thank you antonia 🙂 hope you had a good birthday 🙂 x
How to build an adaptive organisation spread is lovely. A great out of the box idea that you have spread across the double page nicely.
I was discussing this with Scott a few days ago. You say ‘I have been producing freelance illustrations’. I see your style as collage? Or do you mean in this situation there illustrations because youve made images to ‘illustrate’ the artical?
Good stuff though, the first spread was worth the stress and time alone I think! Well done!
Ignore the illustration question, illustration basically means anything visual.
I was thinking illustration is more along the lines of drawing/line art.
ah thank you Reiss 🙂 yes, when I say illustration I mean anything visual 🙂 It was a really good experience and well worth the stress 🙂
Enough of this illustration/freelance lark dawny, when do I get to see a detailed and interesting brief on what you are doing next year, or even just an idea? 😛 😀
hehe! all in good time Mr. Barden, I want to make sure that its fully planned out in my head/researched before I let it loose on you lot 🙂 p.s I read your brief on your blog the other day, it seems like you have gone into a lot of thought already, sounds very good and something you would be able to excel in – 🙂
haha, that is quite out-dated now as it goes, been looking into quite a lot of stuff, it be going well… in the words of reiss “i shall destroy you” or attempt 😛
gdgd, and reiss thinks he can destroy us ? hmmm Id like to see him try 😉 C’mon reiss !
No no no, you get me wrong Dawn 😛 Reiss KNOWS he can destroy you, but ALSO knows he stands NO chance in destroying me, so he gave up on that part hehehehe 😀
I think its all talk and not enough action… 🙂
