About me
Hey there! My name is Gemma! I'm a UK based illustrator and designer who graduated University with 1st Class Honours in Graphic Design. I specialise in both traditional and digital illustration and love to mix the two in my work!
Projects
  • Sticks and Stones
    Sticks and StonesThis project is based on the concept of childhood outdoor play. I packaged three games that can be played outside, all the game equipment can also be found outside (eg: sticks, stones etc) I packaged them in a handmade wooden, sturdy carry box, much like a toolbox. The box is separated into 3 compartments where each game sits, any found game pieces can be kept inside the small hessian bags in each compartment. The instruction booklets are designed to withstand all weathers, so they are printed
  • The Lonely Whale
    The Lonely WhaleThe story is based on the real 'loneliest whale', a Blue whale with a abnormal song frequency of 52 Hertz. This original story follows Blue, the loneliest whale in the world, and his newfound friend Tern as they travel to find and reunite Blue with his family across the ocean. Their journey takes them into the migration routes of other marine animals where they discover that friendship and family comes in all shapes and sizes.
