Alexander Jackson’s Illustrated Clapperboards
Phosphor's Alexander Jackson has had an unusual series of jobs lately, illustrating custom clapperboards for various TV productions. The latest, for an upcoming Channel 4 series called Number 10, which will star Jenna Coleman and Rafe Spall.
Alexander said: "The design features that iconic Downing Street brickwork and the famous black door" and that he "had to make sure it felt authentic for a show that takes you right into the heart of British politics".
Previously Alexander has worked on illustrated clapperboards for productions including Channel 5' Murder Before Evensong, and the BBC's Sister Boniface Mysteries and Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators, which have featured in the mainstream press.
Originally trained in fine art and traditional painting techniques, Alexander Jackson went on to study Illustration at Edinburgh College of Art, where he developed a more graphical style. Influenced by pop-culture, film, music, animation and a very broad range of visual art, his work often deals with responding to mainstream media, while at the same time showing a keen interest in character.
