#13 Design Theory - How to Use Contrast in Your Designs
Do you know what makes the story of King Kong so effective and popular? Yes, it is the giant, raging ape, but actually, what really makes it captivating is the contrast between the monstrous gorilla and Ann, the timid female protagonist.
In this episode we will talk about contrast, which is probably one of the most important tools for designers and illustrators to make their work stand out and look professional. It might sound like a simple term, but believe me it takes time and effort to master it. When used effectively it can help with creating balance, tension, emphasize focal points, establish hierarchy and so much more.

#09 Finding Your Illustration Style
In this episode I will talk about George Tonks, a young and talented illustrator and how he found his unique illustration style.
Most established artists have a unique style that fans admire and can be easily recognised. If you are planning to become an illustrator or digital artist you will most likely want the same: to define your own art style and to ensure that your art stands out. You can find links to George’s work in the show notes.
