Are you heading for extinction?

Are you heading for extinction?

Another fantastic Top Left Design newsletter was sent out this week!

As you may have seen, (from previous posts) each newsleter has its very own theme we like to explore. Last month it was “The time has come” the Walrus said… and this time we chose “Are you heading for extinction?” as our main topic.

As we’re all visual in the team, a lot of the time, the illustration ideas comes to us before we’ve even thought about the topics we’ll cover! Dinosaurs were at the top of Keren’s list and Tamlyn was asked to illustrate 2 new characters for the newsletter banner.

Michael also wrote a blog to accompany it, which you can read here.

Below are a few close-ups of the illustration Tamlyn did. I love it!

We all live in yellow submarines

We all live in yellow submarines illustration

Here’s a new illustration I have been working on over the past few weeks. It’s inspired by the Beatle’s song “We all live in a yellow submarine” which has been stuck in my head for weeks. I decided it was time to do something with it, so I produced this!

“The time has come” the Walrus said…

"The time has come" the Walrus said... - Illustration by Tamlyn Hall

This week, we sent out our March newsletter at Top Left Design. The theme was all about time, and we used “The time has come the Walrus said…” as inspiration for the illustrated banner and newsletter content.

This month Tamlyn, illustrated the newsletter.

As well as being a talented designer, she’s also a dab hand drawing Walruses, she found out! I love her characterisation and the 3d feel to this piece.

Tamlyn also mentioned that she had been inspired by my work, which is always nice to hear!

Have a gander at her work below.

Tea Cosy illustration

Tea Cosy illustration

Here’s a new tea related illustration I thought up today! It’s kind of based around the words “tea cosy” which inspired me to illustrate a cup of tea tucked up in bed with a few biscuits thrown in for good measure!

It’s quite a cosy scene, and I wanted to use pastel shades with the main colours coming from the tea and biscuits. I couldn’t miss the chance to illustrate a few of my favourite dunk-able treats. Here we have the Bourbon, Digestive and Custard Cream in all their glory.

YouTube – One House Per Second website

YouTube - One House Per Second website

Did you know that ever second one hour of video is uploaded to YouTube! Now, that’s a lot of video’s!

To promote this fact, YouTube created this very cool website showing some thought provoking statistics about how uploaded videos convert
into real-time.

The site was produced by Punk & Butler, a data arts and digital production company and the illustrations were created by artist, Alex Eben Meyer.

I had to blog about it as I love the quirky illustrations/animations on the site. Here are a few of my favourites!
