Heart Poster # 3 Scott Garrett
Scott Garrett’s ‘Wish List’ project is a self initiated journey, exploring the hopes and wishes of a motley few. The protagonists are as diverse as figures from an amateur painting picked up in a charity shop, or a kid’s toy, or perhaps a character from one of the many festival processions that take place where Scott lives in St Leonard on Sea. These individuals are then given a brief voice, forcing little truths from them, however trivial or tragic they may be.

Beat #4 The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Cover artwork by Jimmy Turrell
‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a poetic saga of a man’s cruel and unneccesary act at Sea. The crew’s hypocisy and their complicity in his deed, bring down upon themselves nature’s vengeance in a truly gothic tale. The visual power of the poem has proved an enduring inspiration for many artists, such as Mervyn Peake, Alexander Calder and David Jones amongst others, with perhaps one of the most well known illustrated versions being by Gustav Dore.
This edition took a traditional book format with ruled plates, but added a twist with the artists encouraged to work in, out, through,behind and against the traditionally ruled plate boxes.The cover in turn was graphically ‘graffitied’ with artwork by Jimmy Turrell.
234mm x 329, 89 pages. Edited and Art Directed by Darrel Rees and Helen Osborne. Designed by Angus Hyland at Pentagram. This issue won awards from D&AD, Creative Review Annual, Design Week and Grafic magazine. More spreads can be seen here

Beat #3 Gypsy Dream Book, cover artwork by Luke Best
Beat # 3 was inspired by a chance find, a book of gypsy dream definitions, found in a New York flea market. Each of the artists were briefed with a word and it’s definition if cropped up in a dream. A game of consequences using the words was the final twist to this rather esoteric edition of Beat. More spreads can be seen here

‘How to be an Illustrator’ by Darrel Rees, published by Laurence King
Written as a companion book to their highly successful ‘How to be a Designer’ by Adrian Shaugnessy, ‘How to Be an Illustrator’ is a practical guide for graduates and would-be freelance illustrators. It offers advice on every aspect of the profession, from creating a portfolio to approaching clients, tips on reading and negotiating contracts, and how to handle, deliver and bill that first job and keep the work coming in. It discusses the pros and cons of working from home or from a studio, time and cash flow management, and provides information on successful self-promotion, self-publishing and the pros and cons of agents. Laurence King Publishing approached Darrel Rees to write the book, drawing on his experience both as a freelance illustrator and as Director and founder of the Heart Agency. The book features interviews with an international spread of established illustrators such as Jeffrey Decoster, Yuko Shimizu and Marc Boutavant, as well as Designers and Art Directors who discuss their experiences of commissioning illustrators.
