Creative direction is art direction combined with strategy. It’s campaign development and essentially graphic design project management. At Owens Illustration we focus on delivering unique brand experiences with a focus on the creation of reusable brand assets.
Services: Illustration
Illustration isn’t just drawing from the imagination, it’s visual storytelling. I focus on the strategy behind the image creation in order to maximize the long-term value for the brand. I work in two different style: digital painting, and photo-illustration/collage.
