Wanderlust Logo

This month the iconic travel magazine Wanderlust is celebrating 15 years of publishing with a new logo. They asked me to work with their original design so that the distinctive style of the cap W could still be recognised by its loyal readership. The bold brush script gives the cover a fresh and energetic new look while still retaining a reference to the magazine's early years. For more magazine logos take a look at the word > editorial folder on my website.

Tenders Direct Ads

This month Tenders Direct have brought out six new ads. The illustrators were all represented by Illustration Ltd, my own agent. It was an enjoyable challenge to add lettering in six different styles to suit the illustrations. This one was illustrated by Kathryn Rathke and the rest, illustrated by Jamel Akib, Colin Elgie, Linda Bronson, Dave Kurd and Matthew Laznicka, can be seen on my website in the word > advertising folder.
