MarketingDotCom Magazine
Posted by: | CommentsEach month I art direct the content of MarketingDotCom Magazine. Basically, this is a fluffy way of saying I typeset the articles and source/create any images that are required to accompany the articles. I’m also tasked with doing amends and preparing the final artwork for print. It’s a job I thoroughly enjoy working on as it usually requires the flexing all my design muscles. Typesetting the articles and making them appear eye-catching and readable. Creating infographics, 3D imagery, illustrations and logos that are used throughout the magazine. And finally there is the technical side of artworking the publication for print and online viewing.
Recently, I had reason to trawl through the vast back catalogue of images I have created for the magazine. Looking at some of the unusual graphics and images I’ve had the create over the past few years, I thought I’d get some uploaded on here.
Over the course of the next couple of weeks, I’ll be uploading a random selection of these images, starting with these two from the November 2010 issue…
Blast from the past

Way back in 2003, before I officially started trading under the name Kreative Bomb, Creative Bomb(s) was merely the title of a series of self-promotional postcards I handed out to prospective clients.
Besides the postcards and website, the ultimate in self-promotion was the Creative Bomb Smart car I hammered up and down the M62 as I freelanced my arse off. Granted, ‘The Bomb’ was always an easy target for stick and ridicule but it never failed in drawing attention and starting conversations.
Here is a nostalgic look back at some of those ‘Creative Bomb(s)’

I recently logged on to my website to post a reply to a comment someone had left and noticed I hadn’t uploaded any new work in a while. Not good.
I therefore decided I needed to upload something. Anything.
Unfortunately, I haven’t completed many jobs recently. I seem to have a lot of work that is ‘In Progress’ and the bits and bobs I have completed are all a bit dry.
So, I’m uploading an illustration.
It’s a personal piece. It means nothing to no one (except me) and is unlikely to win any awards but it’s a bit wacky and I thought it would look good on my site.
And you know what? If by this time next Monday I have nothing else worthy of uploading, then I’ll trawl through my past work for something that is – commissioned or not.
