Case study

The brief

Wren & Heath Press needed sixty illustrations for a pocket field guide to the birds of the Atlantic coast, printed in two colours to keep the price down.

What I did

Sixty ink drawings from field sketches and museum skins, each drawn for two-colour printing, with a consistent pose so readers can compare birds at a glance.

Result

The first print run of 5,000 sold out in four months and the guide is now in its third printing.
