I was very lucky to have a feature on Issue 2 a few months back so when Ali (the mastermind behind Burst) emailed me about contributing to the new section ‘Designers Desk’ I could not refuse. Even if that meant my mess would be exposed to the world, shame on me!. If you want a better look (can you spot Marlon Brando?) and get to know 21 up and coming illustrators and designers, Issue 4 of Burst Magazine is available to download as a PDF here.

Hot off the (virtual) press Issue #2 of Burst Magazine featuring 21 young UK creatives under the theme ‘LOVE’, how very Valentine’s!. Designed and edited by Ali Salih this issue is all about red&pink&hearts which is really not my thing but Ali managed to make it work so well I love it. The layout is very clear and easy to read with Rockwell as the headline type. Such a lovely surprise to find my friend Sky Nash in it, she does beautiful book structures and childrens illustration turn to page 37 for her feature and check out her blog.
