What

I created a library of 400+ doodles for Eastleigh Town Council to use in marketing materials (from social media images to in-person applications, such as wayfinding systems). Each doodle was designed to work effectively both as a line drawing and as a coloured illustration, while reflecting the character of the town and its community.

Notes

As part of this project, I also gave a talk to design students of Barton Peveril College about how to interpret client briefs, and attended a sustainability hub event where I live drew attendees.
