I was asked by Tyler at Security Management magazine to create a cover illustration based on the theme of construction site thieves and the security required these days to stop them. Copper in particular is most sought after.

Birds are always visually appealing and magpies are known for their thieving characteristics so felt an ideal choice for this piece - stealing pieces of copper tubing. I enclosed the construction site within a dome to convey the security aspect.

Security Management uses black or a very dark background with a dominant colour. Here a coppery orange/brown was thought most suitable.

The Wall Street Journal got in touch requesting an illustration for their health section about the rising costs of healthcare and how those costs are being hidden. This was the finished illustration selected from a couple of sketched concepts.

Wendy from Logistics Management got in touch to request a cover illustration for the June issue of their magazine. The cover story is about how there is a recruitment shortfall within the logistics sector and how managers are working to circumvent that gap.

Below is the finished cover with two of the initial pencil ideas, one is 'bridging' the gap while the other is a visual depiction of 'absence' within the industry.



Sketch one was the preferred route but we agreed to drop the bridge and have the figure stepping over the gap instead which was a little more interesting visually. The illustration was also repeated on an interior spread, as seen below.

In addition to the cover image below, Tyler at Security Management magazine asked me to also create a full page illustration and spot to accompany the article on chemical plant protection.

I was asked by Tyler at Security Management magazine to create a cover illustration based on the theme of chemical plant protection - specifically from the elements with flooding being a particular hazard. There was the opportunity to depict something quite dramatic and the idea of the hand lifting the plant from the crashing waves was well-received.

Security Management has a unique cover style: black or vary dark background with a dominant colour. The image here really dictated that blue should be the colour choice.
