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.
