Larry Rostant for Macmillan

James Annal  art director at Macmillan Publishers commissioned Larry Rostant to produce these wonderful cinematic and striking covers for the top British Sci-fi writer  Peter F. Hamilton's  new  title and hefty backlist.

These beautiful stylish covers,  are very much of the film poster  and video game genre ...

Larry Rostant is well known for producing stunning photographic covers in the science fiction and fantasy areas of publishing  and so this was the ideal commission and a great tribute to his work - James Annal who produced the design  has included unique and stunning spines, which are made of  stripes of colours which should help make the books stand out from others on the shelves!

The Lynx Axe Range

Chris Ede works on a mammoth packaging commission for the Lynx/Axe brand.

Art directed by Utd Studio, Chris has designed nine packaging illustrations for these box sets which are hitting the shelves for Christmas. Chris has created masculine, urban and attractive artworks and says "The brief was to capture the essence of each deodorant brand logo name in the form of an illustration within a dynamic triangular framework."

Steve Gilligan of Utd Studio says of Chris's part in the project:-

"Upon finding Chris Ede within the www.illustrationweb.com site we were immediately struck by the depth and intricate layering of his artwork. A three way paid creative pitch ensued with Chris bringing a level of story telling that captured the essence of the fragrance and hit the brief bang on. Selecting Chris as the winner was simple!

Chris quickly got up to speed and worked tirelessly both with the commissioning agency and the ultimate end client to work through a series of 9 illustrations Chris began with mood boards and rough sketches that provided the heart of his vision. Then following feedback he worked through the range with creativity, craft and professionalism. Even towards the end when a couple were tough to crack, Chris continued to work with the same level of enthusiasm as he began the project.

The final result was a creative yet cohesive range of gift packs that each had their own unique visual story and a very happy client."

A Debenhams Christmas Campaign

'FOUND IT' is the 2014 Debenhams Christmas Campaign; created by Nina Hunter and commissioned by JWT London.

Nina was involved from the concept stage where the "found it" idea was in its primary form. Going through various design stages and looks - from a bold to a more decorative style, the result is a simple effective design. The idea was to create the "found it" keyword from beautiful Christmas icons, Nina says "It was a fantastic experience working with the art directors at JWT. I enjoyed the creative process and loved how each stage was unique and beautiful. I'm very proud of this highlight in my career".

Tom Haugomat joins Handsome Frank

Time to grab the new signing bugle and give it a mighty proud blow, we’re delighted to announce that Tom Haugomat has signed with Handsome Frank.
Tom is a born and bred Parisian who resides in his home city. Having studied at the world famous Gobelins school of visual communication he initially embarked on a successful career in animated films but latterly his love for illustration developed.
Now an established illustrator, Tom’s striking signature style draws upon a strong sense for composition and an acute awareness of the power of negative space. Working with a stripped back colour palette he creates wonderfully atmospheric imagery, often brooding with tension or sprinkled with magic as the brief desires.
We’re delighted to have him on board and can’t wait to get working with him. You can his full profile here.
