Leeds Inspired poster design commission

I was asked to design/illustrate a poster to promote the Leeds Inspired website, a site that tells people about all the cultural events going on in the area.

The brief was to communicate the strapline ‘See what's out there'. I decided to create a kind of visual puzzle that contained this line. Each panel also shows ‘things’ going out or looking out; so it works on 2 levels.

Breaking Bad inspired illustration

I enjoy watching the TV series ‘Breaking Bad’ so much it inspired me to have a crack (excuse pun) at creating a simplified illustration.
The blue is a reference to the colour of the meth drug featured in the show. I wanted the craggy lines on the face to tie in with the chemistry flask markings.
