Here's my first post for 2024, a brand new cover illustration and animation
for
BBC Science Focus' 400th issue on
What's Next? for science
in our lifetimes. The brief was to design a bold typographic illustration to
convey the wide variety of themes in the issue from Mars colonies to
weight-loss pills. I set about creating 3d text in Cinema 4D and wanted there
to be elements, such as the planet and brain, that would interact with the
typography and the internal backdrop design that the font acts as a window
into. Once we'd settled on a modern font that worked I created the
illustration in Photoshop then animated the 3d models in Cinema 4d and
composited it all together in After Effects for the Apple edition moving
cover. Another satisfying commission for one of my favourite clients. You can
