Robert Ball creates a series of humanising illustrations for Techspace.

 

Robert Ball has created a series of illustrations for Techspace, who provide and pair office spaces and technical back up with growing businesses. Commissioned by the branding agency Thisaway, the challenge was to create metaphorical illustrations around key attributes of the company without resorting to clichéd ideas and images.

“I found that playing around with scale and humanising the technological aspects of the brief helped me make illustrations that have personality and quirk without being wacky.  Each image was sketched out by hand then turned into vectors which means they can be used at any scale but still carry the personality of that original hand drawing.”
