Been working on new pieces for this forthcoming Edition for a few weeks on & off. More on way in new year.

Product: BBC Jam (educational) Client: BBC

 

Characters & designs for the ill-fated BBC Jam. This was just a small part of the BBC’s efforts to provide online learning covering almost every subject in the British school curriculum. The brief here was to turn “live-action” (actors) characters from a short series of French learning films into cartoon characters we could use for online games & tasks such as putting together comic strips. Jam ended in tatters leaving a lot of contributors who had put their heart & soul into this fantastic project, utterly deflated. We believed in the project & speaking for myself, believed it would help children with their studies. It’s downfall was a great shame.

Some of the comic strips for BBC Jam “Les Choix” (see above), & how they looked as rough drafts.

Character designs for BBC Jam online learning games & animations, made in Flash. This was also for Jam’s French learning section. The brief was to create a series of characters from a fictional TV studio that students could use to make & edit their own short films in French.

Product: BBC Bitesize  (educational revision) Client: BBC

BBC Bitesize is another BBC online learning site, focusing on helping students revise for their exams.

Illustrations for BBC Bitesize GCSE DiDA revision. These were artworked in Flash, ending up as gifs on the website.

 

Poster design for BBC Blast one-off promotion. Blast is a BBC site for people to showcase their artistic talents. I never got my own print of the poster in the end . The last image of the girl is a little glimpse of the work in progress. As seen here, I often artwork characters in Flash, just out of habit & preference over Illustrator (truth be told, I seldom use the latter!)
