PROJECT: GARDEN DESIGN JOURNAL, SUSTAINABLE/ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE
CLIENT: JAMES PEMBROKE MEDIA
Garden Design Journal is a stunning garden design trade publication for members of the Society of Garden Designers created by James Pembroke Media
OBJECTIVE
To create a set of illustrations - one half-page illustration and 3 spot illustrations to accompany an article about garden designers working in a sustainable, environment-friendly way.
I was given an outline of the case studies that were to be included in the feature and asked to reflect some of the various eco-focussed ideas and approaches in my illustrations.
Soil re-use
Sustainable garden design thinking
Calculating how sustainable your garden project is… the ‘Eco-meter’
Half page illustration: Sustainable design considerations & sourcing locally
After I’d completed the project, the client let me know the illustrations had worked really with the article and asked if they could re-licence them for the cover of the magazine - see below…
CLIENT FEEDBACK
“The illustrations look really great Carys and we are delighted with how it worked out! The editorial panel at the Society of Garden Designers jumped at the chance to do something a bit different to the usual for us and your illustrations captured the complex nature of the topic perfectly. “
- Stephanie Mahon, Editor, Garden Design Journal
