Centre Court, Strawberries & Sunshine
Brief
Centre Court, Strawberries and Sunshine is a self-initiated illustration inspired by the quintessential British summer and the atmosphere surrounding Wimbledon. The aim was to capture the familiar visual language of the event through a playful collection of summer details, from strawberries and tennis balls to picnic accessories and other handbag essentials.
Approach
I developed the illustration in an editorial style, using a collection of hand drawn elements to build a playful summer scene. A bright pink and green colour palette reflects the energy of Wimbledon and the wider feeling of a British summer, while the layered composition brings together familiar tennis and lifestyle references. Each element was illustrated in my own distinctive style, creating a cohesive image that feels playful and contemporary.
Outcome
The final illustration captures the relaxed and celebratory feeling of a summer day at Wimbledon, combining recognisable visual references with a playful and personal illustration style. The result is a colourful editorial style piece that demonstrates my ability to develop a complete visual concept through hand drawn illustration and composition.
