Under the bonnet of the Tour de Force

Client: The Telegraph

Role: Illustrator

The brief.

The project was for an illustrated article that goes behind the scenes and showcases the people who make the world cycling’s premier happen - the Tour de Force. I was responsible for hero illustrations and icons included in callouts and illustrated diagrams.

The process.

As with any project that includes illustrations and icons, it's essential to have a cohesive style, so I chose to go with figures with no expressions to match the flatter profile of the icons.

As for the icons, these were the stars of the show; they were small illustrations that supported the text. I chose to have them in free-form bubbles that matched the UI design of the article.
