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.

A few years ago I made a Doctor Who Team-Up Infographic. It was OK, but it didn't come out the way it looked in my head and I never really liked the design.
So I finally took the time to redesign it, and add the additional team-up episode that aired in 2013 (timely I know, but hey, I'm busy).
Obviously you'll have to view "Original Size" to read the text.
Every now and then the Doctor faces a situation that even he can't tackle alone. That's when he uses his TARDIS to go back in time and recruit his past selves for help. Think of it as your 30 year old self using a time machine to get your 20 year old self to help you move your couch.
So far most of my infographics have been 12" x 18." I knew I'd never fit all this info into that size, so I decided not to worry about it, and just let the material dictate the height.
For non-fans of the show, those circular symbols in the background are Gallifreyan words.
There was a lot of moving around of elements and rewriting of text to get everything just right. I'm a lot happier with this version.
As fun as these team-up episodes are, historically there's always been some sort of problem with each one, making them less than perfect. For example, in The Three Doctors, actor William Hartnell (who played the First Doctor) was in poor health and was only able to interact with the other Doctors via a view screen, so it was really just two Doctors running around. Pity.
Then in The Five Doctors, Hartnell had sadly passed away and was replaced by actor Richard Hurndall. He did a good job, but naturally it just wasn't the same. Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor, declined to participate, and appears for only a few seconds through the magic of stock footage. Baker has recently said he regrets his decision.
In The Two Doctors, actor Patrick Troughton had aged visibly since his tenure on the series, and his hair had gone almost completely gray. This was distracting to say the least, since he was supposed to be the same age as the last time we saw him. This would have been such an easy fix— all they had to do was dye his hair black. Does hair dye not exist in England?
The Day Of The Doctor is marred by problems as well— namely the absence of the Ninth Doctor. In the episode, The Moment brings the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors back in time to show the War Doctor the massive guilt he'll experience if he destroys Gallifrey.
But Ten and Eleven don't seem all that guilt-ridden or damaged, seeing as how they spend a good amount of screen time joking around with one another. The Ninth Doctor was the one closest to the tragedy and the one who always had an air of sadness and tragedy about him. He'd have been a great example for The Moment to have used. So why wasn't he in the episode?
Unfortunately actor Christopher Eccleston, who played the Ninth Doctor, has some sort of beef with the BBC and refuses to reprise the role. That's his business of course, but you'd think he could have set aside his differences for the sake of the fans. Story-wise it makes no sense for him to not be in the episode, and hurts it overall.
I knew that show runner Stephen Moffat's plots were overly convoluted and needlessly complicated, but nowhere was that more evident than when I started writing up the synopsis for The Day Of The Doctor. I was able to distill the other episodes down to a few short paragraphs. It took many times that to try and explain Day, even after leaving out a ton of stuff.
I kept whittling away at it and slashing elements until I got it down to a manageable size. You may notice that the Zygon subplot, that takes up a good amount of the run time, is barely mentioned in my synopsis. That's because I realized it's completely superfluous. It has absolutely nothing to do with the overall War Doctor plot line and could be edited out of the show completely without harming the episode one bit. Such are Stephen Moffat's scripts.
Hopefully there won't be any more team-ups for a while, so I won't have to update it again.
There have been several other team-ups in the various Doctor Who audio books, novels and comics, but I'm just listing the more well known televised ones.

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.

Experiment showing that not only are Multiple Master fonts supported in Adobe InDesign, but if they have an optical size axis, the setting to “Automatically Use Correct Optical Size” will indeed work.
This demo shows a Multiple Master version of Benton Modern set at 6pt, 12pt, 24pt, 48pt, and 72pt before and after the previously mentioned “Automatically Use Correct Optical Size” preference is turned on.
Note that in order for Multiple Master fonts to be recognized by InDesign, they must be installed in InDesign’s font folder. Multiple Master fonts installed in the system font folder will not be recognized.

These pages are part of the third exercise, Typographic Syntax.
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.

Using Adobe Stock images for advertising purposes.
Licensing Adobe Stock images is not that expensive. I could never make these two model images for less, than I pay Adobe. Naturally there's a risk, that this woman appears in several adds for many different products - but I guess we'll just take that chance :-)
This is a school assignment. It's a small book about different ways of transportation: small, medium, large and xtra large.
I've used the DDPm as an example of 'large' transportation. I will post more about this project on my Behance portfolio soon.
