Project Description

The UK’s top sea angling magazine, SEA ANGLER, catering for the widest spectrum of sea angling methods and techniques, chose to use my illustration work back in 2009 to enhance the content of their publication, that has continued and has evolved to provide more and better detail for rigs and methods in current editions.

Commissioned monthly, these illustrations, often used in a full page spreads, providing detailed ‘How To Fish‘ and ‘Rig Diagrams‘, often combined in to one spread, help make communicating the right way to create the rigs needed for specific species in a variety of environments and locations.

Recent relaunch of Boat Angler section provided the opportunity to illustrate boat fishing rigs and methods in greater detail than has been used or possible in the past. Now the angler see’s the rig in a more realistic environment.

This is an ongoing project and every issues throws up opportunities to explore new ideas and ways to deliver on illustrating for this major title magazine. A typical example of this is shown above in the sample DPS illustration for the Thornback Ray feature recently.

Clear Instructional Info Graphics

Instructional features like John Holden’s section in ‘Sea School’ require good info graphics, and images like this example were created from a set of supplied images taken for the purpose. Elements and components that might have been blurred by motion were restored to make clear the detail of what was happening through the stages of casting.
