splotdesigns - design and illustration

 
I originally trained at Falmouth College of Arts, Nottingham Trent University and the Isle of Wight College. Despite having a background in Graphic Design, I also specialise in illustration, particularly digital and print.

I have enjoyed moderate success, my work has been published in literature such as Lush Cosmetics Times, Caris Magazine, Chichester Observer Magazine and twice in the Quay Arts Colouring Book. I've also won numerous competitions, including one for artwork inspired by author Lynne Truss’s (Eats, Shoots and Leaves) Tennyson’s Gift (see PRESS link). I have also produced designs for local businesses such as Merlin's Restaurant and Crepe Island Catering. As well as having work published on a postcard by Boomerang Media which was placed in cinemas all over the country.

I also enjoy teaching young adults full-time at a local college. I also have instructed adult learners how to use software such as Adobe Creative Suite i.e. Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver and Illustrator.
