Hey, it's another infographic. Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about the Doctor, but were afraid to ask.
Once I'd finished drawing cartoon renditions of all eleven Doctors, I was trying to think of something else I could do with them. Suddenly the idea of an infographic sprung to mind. Armed with my moderate knowledge of Who-lore and trivia, I started typing up relevant factoids and arranging the Doctors on the page. Obviously you'll have to view the original size to read most of it.
I think this is the first time in my life I've ever drawn the TARDIS. It was surprisingly hard! It seems like it would be simple; after all it's just a blue box with some windows, but it was actually quite complicated, what with all of those little details and recessed panels and whatnot (and yes, it's been pointed out that I have the wrong number of window panes. I've fixed that on the revised version).
There's another Doctor Who infographic over here.
This piece took quite a while to finish. I worked on it a little at a time over several days. There was a lot of moving around of elements and much text editing to get everything to fit in an efficient manner. Hopefully there aren't too many glaring errors in the information.
I've had the grid system drilled into my head since design school, and normally I'm a devoted disciple of it. This time I said nuts to grids and just sort of let the design happen organically. I kind of liked it. I may start ditching the grid more often.
Laid out entirely in InDesign. All the Doctors were drawn in InDesign as well.
UPDATE: My little infographic just passed 150,000 views!!! Thank Kew, Internet!!!
UPDATE: Be sure and check out the REVISED AND UPDATED VERSION. All the mistakes that appear here have been corrected.
There's another infographic featuring the Doctor's enemies here.

I don't usually do much vector art, mainly because I can't get nice variable lines like I can when I draw with a pen. But I thought I'd experiment and give vector another try. My vector work usually comes out looking too stiff to me. I figured if it's gonna end up looking stiff, then what better subject matter than a robot?
This one was drawn entirely in InDesign. A lot of people are surprised when they find out I draw things in InDesign instead of in Illustrator. It's got most of the same drawing tools as Illustrator, and IMO is easier to use. The aging was a jpeg imported into InDesign and placed on top of the art.
Another reason I don't do a lot of vector art-- this drawing took DAYS. I bet I spent three or four times as long on this one as I would have if I'd been drawing it in Photoshop on my graphic tablet. It was a fun experiment though. Maybe next time I'll be able to do it faster.

Do you see that little ‘h’ tucked into the corner of the frame? Look closely, zoom in. This is from the newly redesigned — spectacularly redesigned — Billboard magazine. This tiny mistake could’ve been prevented by using an often overlooked preference. (Like much of InDesign, helpful preferences, OpenType choices, etc, are buried.)
Now I don’t bring this up to embarrass the designer. Believe me, I dread finding errors with each new issue I produce of Seattle Met. The tinier, the worse it is. But nothing gets me down like a mistake that is mostly a result of software — subjective, regrettable design decisions are a separate beast.
But back to the preference. Preferences > Type > Type Tool Converts Frames to Text Frames. Turn that off and leave it that way. Now you won’t accidentally convert boxes and find yourself typing in them by accident. If you do need to convert a box that was previously drawn for decoration, do it manually in the Object menu (Object > Content) or control+click (Content).
The picture also shows a fundamental problem with InDesign's handling of boxes. A box, when set to Color > Empty, is not selectable except by clicking and dragging from the frame itself. Great! Except, if Type Tool Converts Frames to Text Frames is on, then the Type tool will “see” the empty box and convert it to a text box. (Yes, I’m calling them boxes and not frames because I think it makes more sense. Frames, in real life, are technically containers, but when we speak of frames, are we not mainly talking about the wood around the glass and art? So, I call them all boxes, I call a box with a stroke a frame, rather than an “empty frame with a stroke serving as a frame on the page.”)
Anyway, it boils down to the fact that InDesign’s Type tool can see the box better than the Selection tool can. That's why you should go change that preference and avoid converting boxes which are sometimes not even seen on screen! That could have been what happened here. Billboard is a large format magazine and if the empty box was converted and the ‘h’ typed while the designer was zoomed in to the bottom of the page, well, then you get this … fetus. That’s my new term for these stray beginnings of words; someday he might grow up to be an orphan. An h can dream.

Intro.
Back in the late 1980s, I trained in traditional graphic design while at college. When I said “traditional” I meant the old fashion way, using pens, pencils, craft knife, cutting mat, masking tapes, and working on paper, as opposite to digital graphic design which is done on computer. Starting from the middle 1990s, I got myself a Windows based PC, then bought a graphic design software, and started self-training.
Few years ago, I upgraded my computer (4th upgrade), and changed my graphic design software to Adobe brand. While I was a full-time single parent, I continue to keep my skills refreshed by doing my own graphic design projects, mainly to keep my portfolio updated in case I get a chance for an interview.
This is one of the graphic design project ideas I came up with in 2016. A DVD case cover and DVD Boxset based on a (non-existence) television series.
I came up with an idea of a detective/crime drama, centred on a leading female character, and using an eponymous title.
An eponymous title means of a person giving their name to something. For example, a character’s name, often just a single name, used as a title for a series. Examples…
Bergerac. British 1980s police detective series.
Castle. American 2010s crime/comedy series.
Lewis. British spin-off from Inspector Morse.
MacGyver. American 1980s television series.
Columbo. American 1970s-2000s detective series.
I used Kimberley which is a surname in the English language, and it is a variant of Kimberly. Point of note: It is also a given name as well as a surname. I used the variant Kimberley as a surname instead of the more common Kimberly as first name.
The idea of the plot is a single mother of two teenagers, juggling between her personal life at home and her job working for the police. The idea for the cover design is the leading character out and about, on her own, as if she’s lost in thoughts, possibility thinking of the police investigation and also of her personal problems.
How was that done?
I booked Lulu, a model based in Newport, Wales, United Kingdom, for an outdoors photo-shoot, as part of the graphic design project. When setting up the photo-shoot, I explained to Lulu what my project is about. It helps if I give her some background on what it is about, and explain to her what I want her to do, so that she would then know what kind of posing to do. She posed in different ways that are what I hoped for.
You can view some of the photographs from the photo-shoot in the album titled Lulu here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/albums/72157719202020434
After getting the photos I needed, the next step was to find out the dimensions of a DVD case cover and a DVD Boxset case. Usually the case cover is much easier to work with, but the Boxset dimensions is bit tricky. When I’ve got the dimensions, I then started Adobe InDesign, set up a new spread,* and created the layout.
*We call it a spread, not a page.
For the case cover, the layout can fit on a single A4 spread. But for the box layout, it needed to be done on A3 spread. The case cover layout is often of the right dimensions on the first go (if you get it right the first time), but the box dimensions needs to be double-checked. This was done by printing out just the layout, cut it out, place it on a box, check if it fits or not. It was a simple case of adjust the layout’s dimensions in the software.
Then I imported the original photograph into Adobe Photoshop and saved it as a .PSD file, then imported the .PDS file into the main layout in the .INDD file. Next task was to simply just type the words on it, add any other graphics or other photographs, and make any adjustments to the objects.
The above image shows a screen capture of the completed layout design in the InDesign workspace, and the inset shows a photo of the finished work.

I'm a big fan of Doctor Who, so I thought I'd start a series of vector drawings of the eleven (!) different Doctors (so far).
David Tennant played the Tenth Doctor from 2005 to 2010. He starred in three seasons and eight specials, including three Christmas episodes. The Christmas specials are some of my favorite Who episodes ever, and are more like movies than TV shows-- they could have been shown theatrically, in my opinion.
Tennant was my absolute favorite Doctor, hands down, beating out even Tom Baker (sorry, Tom). Tennant reportedly decided he wanted to become an actor while watching Doctor Who as a child. In fact, while attending Paisley Grammar School he wrote an essay on how his greatest desire was to some day play the Doctor on TV!
Tennant's Doctor was sort of a cool yet geeky college professor. He could be funny, sentimental and terrifying all in the same episode. It was a sad day when he announced he was leaving the series; I was honestly depressed about it for a week. That's the nature of Doctor Who though. If you don't like change, then this isn't the show for you. Fortunately Matt Smith, the Eleventh Doctor, has done an incredible job and won me over after just one episode.
Unlike previous incarnations of the Doctor who had platonic relationships with his companions, #10 was most definitely in love with Rose Tyler and never quite got over her after she left the series.
Many of the Doctor's former friends and companions returned during #10's era, including Sarah Jane Smith, and the robotic dog K-9. He even had a run-in with the Fifth Doctor in the special Time Crash mini-episode.
Speaking of the Fifth Doctor (played by Peter Davison), Tennant is dating actress Georgia Moffett, Davison's daughter. Moffett also starred in the episode The Doctor's Daughter as, what else, the cloned daughter of the Tenth Doctor! Confused yet?
Many of his old foes returned to plague him as well, including Davros, creator of the Dalek race, and his eternal nemesis (and fellow Time Lord) the Master. The Sontarans also returned to battle the Tenth Doctor.
The Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver continued to gain new abilities and functions in just about every episode. The versatility of the Sonic has become something of a running joke in the series.
Doctor #10 had two main outfits, a blue pin-striped suit and a brown pin-striped one. His main trademark were his Chuck Taylor tennis shoes (or "trainers," as they're known to the Brits). He almost always wore a brown top coat as well. On a couple of occasions he traded in his pin-striped suit for a black tuxedo. He would also occasionally wear glasses.
The Tenth Doctor continued the new series' tradition of utilizing the city of Cardiff, Wales, as a sort of home base. Many episodes of the new series have taken place in or around there. Coincidentally, the series is filmed at one of the BBC's studios in Cardiff. Imagine that!
Doctor #10 is a vector drawing, drawn all in InDesign.
Please forgive the ugly watermark on the illustration. I swore I would never add one to my art, because I know that 99.99% of my readers would never even think of stealing it. But earlier this year I had a run-in with an art thief who was not only stealing my work, but selling it as her own! Hence the watermarks. This is why we can't have nice things.

In honor of the late Leonard Nimoy, here's my vector rendition of Mr. Spock.
The Spock we all know and love could have been a very, very different character. When producer Gene Roddenberry first made his pitch for Star Trek in 1964, he described Spock as "probably half Martian," with "a slightly reddish complexion and semi-pointed ears." He also thought it would be a good idea if rather than eating, Spock would ingest energy through a plate in his stomach (!).
Fortunately, writer Samuel A. Peeples convinced Roddenberry that these traits would make Spock a little too alien, and suggested he be half-human in order to make him more relatable to audiences. Roddenberry agreed, and toned down Spock's alien-ness a bit. He also changed his home planet to the fictional Vulcan, because he worried that if Star Trek was a success, man might actually make it to Mars during the show's run (!!!).
Roddenberry was looking for an otherworldly name for the character, and eventually came up with the suitably alien-sounding "Spock." He claimed that at the time he hadn't heard of celebrity child expert Dr. Benjamin Spock. If he had, he no doubt would have chosen a different name, and we'd now be talking about Mr. Spork.
When it came to casting, Roddenberry inexplicably wanted DeForest Kelly for the role. Thankfully Kelly turned it down, and went on to play Dr. McCoy. Phew! Roddenberry's second choice was Adam West, but he was busy working on the film Robinson Crusoe On Mars. Phew again! The idea of Batman as Mr. Spock boggles the mind! Martin Landau was also considered for the role.
Around that time Nimoy made a guest appearance on the Roddenberry-produced series The Lieutenant. The minute Roddenberry saw Nimoy's thin, gaunt features, he knew he'd found his Spock. He approached him for the role, Nimoy agreed, and the rest is TV history.
When NBC saw the first pilot, they were less than pleased with Spock. They worried that his "satanic" appearance would offend viewers in the South. They even went so far as to airbrush out his slanted eyebrows and pointed ears in publicity shots. Once the pilot was picked up, NBC demanded Spock be dropped from the series, which just goes to prove that network executives have never known what the hell they're doing. Luckily for us, Roddenberry persevered and the network eventually allowed Spock to stay.
Spock went on to become the most popular character on the show, receiving up to ten thousand fan letters a week.
Many of Spock's characteristics were invented by Nimoy himself. The split-fingered Vulcan salute for example, was actually a Jewish ceremonial gesture Nimoy witnessed as a child during church, and utilized it for the show. Nimoy came up with the Vulcan neck pinch as well, saying that Spock wouldn't stoop to simply punching a bad guy in the nose, and would find a more efficient and logical way to incapacitate an enemy.
Nimoy was surprised when Spock became a sex symbol, reporting, "I've never had more female attention on a set before. And get this— they all want to touch the ears!" He believed Spock appealed to women because he was "tall, dark, thoughtful, alien and exotic."
Spock has been an inspiration to many scientists and engineers, especially at NASA. Nimoy said that when many scientists met him, they would breathlessly tell him about the projects they were working on as if he were their intellectual peer (and could understand the concepts they were going on about). He said that in these situations he had a standard response: "It certainly looks like you're headed in the right direction."
After Star Trek was canceled, Nimoy tried to distance himself from the character for many years, but eventually made his peace with Spock and embraced him. In a recent interview, Nimoy said, "Given the choice, if I had to be someone else, I would be Spock."
As for the drawing, Spock's "Live long and prosper" salute gave me a lot of trouble. I just couldn't get it to look right, and finally had to (gasp) trace over a photo of him making the gesture.
Most of the characters I draw have only three fingers, which is a tradition in the world of cartoon illustration. You may note that Spock here has four. He had to— the gesture wouldn't have worked with any less.
Please forgive the ugly watermark on the illustration. I swore I would never add one to my art, because I know that 99.99% of my readers would never even think of stealing it. However, it was recently brought to my attention that a particular person out there was not only stealing my art, but selling it as her own (!). Hence the watermark, in an attempt to foil this art thief. This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm toying with the idea of selling this image as a print, if there's any interest.
