When talking about drawing for graphic design projects, we’re very often talking about a digital process. We’re so used to sitting in front of our computers, plugging away at pixels in Photoshop and Illustrator, that we sometimes forget to step away, grab a pen or pencil, and just draw. Here, we provide six simple drawing practice exercises that revolve around drawing for graphic design.

Chatsworth House is currently running its Chatsworth Renewed exhibition, which celebrates the people who have helped to maintain and restore the house. The exhibition aims to share their stories, past and present, as well as giving an up close and personal view of the fabric of Chatsworth house. I was commissioned by Chatsworth House to illustrate and design collector cards to help children learn more about the people behind the house.

I love painting portraits and I love using gouache. So to combine the two and share my love for both the subject and the medium in a workshop is pure joy. I am a believer that everyone is creative, we just need a little bit of time and a little bit of space. And some inspiration and likeminded people around us to encourage :) I taught a lovely group of 5 the other weekend.

We all want to build robust and engaging web experiences. We scrutinize every detail of an interaction. We spend hours getting the animation swing just right. We refactor our JavaScript to shave tiny fractions of a second off load times. We control absolutely everything we can, but the harsh reality is that we control less than we think. Last week, two events reminded us, yet again, of how right Douglas Crockford was when he declared the web “the most hostile software engineering environment ima

Yesterday (April 23rd) was Word Book Day! Books mean the world to me, so to celebrate this special day I want to share some picture books from my personal collection with you. I can't say these are my absolute favorite books, though. I'm terrible at picking favorites. In my heart there is enough room for mountains and mountains of books!
