Jonny Hannah

Jonny Hannah is a freelance illustrator who gave a talk to us on his work, and experiences as an illustrator working pretty much for himself out in industry. His work was really nice to look at, and you could really appreciate the work and effort that had gone into each illustration. Although I don't really draw myself it really made me think more about illustration as a possible solution for briefs, especially as it instantly gives a handmade, personal quality to something which is very hard to achieve just on the computer. He was also very interested in typography, and I think some of his most interesting illustrations included his hand drawn type. The work he presented showed how versatile illustration can be. The work varied from book covers (more known for their use of illustration) to his own 'Rocket Man' creation simply influenced by popular culture.
