#149 Ellie Fryer
Ellie is a Kingston Illustration Animation Graduate. Working prolifically in a blend of hand drawn and digital illustration. This blending of traditional and digital image-making methods is distinctive of her work. She believe that utilising both styles together allows her to make use of ‘the best of both worlds’. Beginning with traditional drawings allows her the freedom to incorporate reportage pieces from any area of her work. Digitalising this then provides the opportunity to fine-tune and add detail to these drawings, while also giving her the opportunity to create abstract scenes comprised of real-life figures. She tends to use a limited variety of materials, as she feels that she knows what medium she works best in. However, she still enjoys experimenting with and exploring line quality, shape, texture and colour. Ellie’s affection for books and, more predominantly, illustrated books, has led her to pursuing these stylistic and methodological experiments, as well as playing with both sequential and non-linear narratives. Her joy for illustration stems from a love of traditional drawing and obsession with detail.

#137 Meagan Bach
Meagan Bach is a New Zealand-born mostly London-based graphic designer. She graduated from Auckland University of Technology in 2010 with a Bachelor of Design majoring in illustration before exploring the globe and settling in London. Almost six years later, having the privilege to work with brands such as BBC Worldwide and ITV Creative, she now works on-the-road whilst exploring Central and South America. With a two year stint in Hong Kong as a child, and many visits there and beyond since, Asian themes often influence her designs. This influence, combined with a love of kitsch, means she favours a maximalist style of pattern, bold colour combinations and decorative typography over the minimalist tendencies within graphic design.
