I was first introduced to Bloom In Doom magazine by a friend and after reaching out to their editor I was asked to create two illustration pieces to support articles in their next issue. Bloom In Doom is a digital and print magazine that focuses on "solution based ecological journalism" and the second issue was to be focused around the topic of 'Sustainability'. The articles I created illustrations for were about 'Fast Fashion' and 'Sustainable Produce'. 
However, the Bloom In Doom encountered some issues in finalising the second issue and this was when I volunteered to help them get the issue finalised and print ready. I designed layouts for 6 seperate articles and the issue foreword and helped them pull everything together. Going forward I am hoping to continue supporting the Bloom In Doom team as they share the voices and work of environmentally concious people trying to educate and inform on the effects of climate change.

ABOVE & BELOW: Spreads from a picture series focusing on foragers and the recipes inspired by their foraging. There were 9 people in total in this photographic series and I decided to display their recipes in a creative way, I photographed different paper types I had with washi tape and created a hand crafted feel. I did consider using a hand written font for the recipes but I wanted to keep some consistency throughout the feature. 
BELOW: A couple of alternatives I supplied to Bloom in Doom which had supporting text that I lettered and scanned in. The illustration was made in photoshop but evolved from sketches and marks made by hand.
BELOW: An alternative colour palette I provided to the client as well as some of the original lettering and textures I made and scanned in. The illustration was made in photoshop but was created from sketches and textures/marks I made by hand.
