Freelance Illustrator London

Illustration of Leeds Town Hall. I was approached by the guys at Glug Leeds, to design a new illustration for their brochure. They wanted a simple hand-drawn illustrative style for the front cover. I used a combination of different simple shapes and patterns to create the illustration.


The project required an illustration that felt creative, approachable and visually striking while remaining simple enough to work effectively across print applications.

Using a combination of geometric shapes, textures and hand-drawn elements, I developed an illustration of Leeds Town Hall that reflected the creative nature of the Glug community while providing a memorable visual focal point for the publication.

The result was a bold and engaging illustration that helped bring personality to the brochure while celebrating one of Leeds’ most recognisable landmarks.

For Glug Leeds, the goal was to create a memorable illustration that would help the brochure stand out while reflecting the creative and collaborative nature of the event community.

The illustration also needed to work effectively across printed marketing materials while maintaining clarity and impact.


THE CHALLENGE


The challenge was creating an illustration that captured the character of Leeds Town Hall while maintaining a simple and contemporary visual style.

The artwork needed to feel creative and distinctive without becoming overly detailed or complex.

It also needed to reproduce effectively across printed materials while retaining clarity and visual impact.


THE SOLUTION


We began by exploring different illustration styles and visual references before developing a creative direction for the project.

From there, I created:

• Custom illustration design
• Leeds Town Hall illustration
• Editorial illustration
• Brochure cover artwork
• Hand-drawn illustration styling
• Vector illustration artwork
• Print-ready illustration files
• Marketing design support

The final illustration combines simple shapes, bold forms and subtle textures to create a contemporary hand-crafted aesthetic.

The artwork was designed to remain highly versatile while creating a strong visual identity for the brochure cover.


THE OUTCOME


The result is a distinctive illustration that celebrates Leeds Town Hall while helping the Glug Leeds brochure stand out.

The artwork creates a memorable focal point that reflects the creativity of the organisation and its audience.
