Cute illustrations by Jessica Smith combine bold shapes with a striking colour palette

Oxford-based artist Jessica Smith is a recent illustration graduate of Falmouth University. Her portfolio includes a range of drawings in her bold signature style, soon to be exhibited in London throughout the summer.

Written By:
Four figures relaxing outdoors among plants, illustrated in bold colours with geometric shapes on a dark background

This particular selection is part of Smith's graduate collection, and includes designs for editorials, film posters and book covers. "I am really interested in these areas of illustration and enjoy the use of bright colours, bold fonts and the mixture of both physical and digital ways of working."

If this collection is the result of just three years' experience, we're keen to see what's next for Smith. Bright things, we expect. Discover more at www.jessicasmithillustration.com.
