Design and Pitch

These single page pitch posters showcase early development work designed to introduce a simple idea and gain traction for the larger project.
They include early stage character design and styling, whilst attempting to capture a bigger sense of the arcing narrative and the key themes that drive the story.

Concept Art
and Production Design
This collection of images forms part of a portfolio of work from a recent development project. Ian took inspiration from his short film script to design and visualise a look and feel for the characters and location, paying strict attention to the effect of colour, across the project, to help incite mood, meaning and emotion.
“Migration” Concept and Development
Crockery Farm:
Concept, Design and Illustration
Ian wrote his first children’s book in 2012. Crockery Farm, is a story of discovery and adventure for an uninspired boy and his dog, who dive into the surprising enjoyment of a plate of local seasonal vegetables.
The printed book is designed as a concertina fold, which partitions a continuous artwork into novel page-turns that string togther the entire narrative. Design and realisation is a showcase of Ian’s versatility, storytelling and obsessive attention to detail.
Design and
Illustration
These seasonal post cards are designed and printed for a local rowing club.
The initial octopus design was commissioned and created as a new identity for the group. The postcards have become a enjoyable annual ‘side hustle’ and a project worth sharing.

screenwriting
Over the past decade, Ian has furthered his knowledge of the mechanics of visual storytelling by identifying how images can guide the senses to promote the audience experience through meaning and emotion. He has sought to practice and teach storycraft through the development of his own original work and holds a current and developing portfolio of screenwriting.
