I've been following Clair on Instagram for a long time now and thought I'd contact her and say Hello! Her work is so lovely and quirky with her images not being a perfect replica of the thing itself. Her illustrations are colourful and vibrant and there's just something fun about them! She works a lot with children's books and for that she is signed up to The Bright Agency but I'm more interested in her other work. Her clients include: Paperchase, Sainsbury's, Tesco and BBC History Magazine. I've often worried about what area of illustration I want to go in to, but why do I have to choose? Yes, I have a preference, but I'd like to try everything. Clair's work is spread over a few different products and formats, which is something I wanted to ask her about.
Clair's website is one that's stood out to me. Like her illustrations, it's fun and vibrant and stands out agents other basic websites. Going through her website is a fun experience. Each option has a small thumbnail illustration with white background to click on. A lot of the text on the website is hand written, even her bio, giving it a personal feel. I'm guessing she did this by uploading it as a picture. Maybe this is something I should consider? On other pages, the mix of pictures and text is a little more complicated and I'm not sure how she did it. It must have taken a lot of time and effort.
So as I said, I emailed Clair with a few questions, mostly just asking general advise and she replied so quickly with such a great reply. She took the time to not only give me loads of advice but to also looked at my instragam and website, picked out her favourite work and gave me some specific suggestions. There's a few other things she suggested I have a look at too, so I'll be sure to look at them.
She also started following me on Instagram and Facebook!!
