LANDED Illustrations & Design
LANDED are a peer support agency based and operating throughout Lanarkshire. Their aim is to inform and educate youngsters through peer education, providing the facts about drugs, alcohol, tobacco and sexual health. Over the last few years I have been involved with many projects for LANDED. Ranging from online graphics and a redesign of their website, to illustrating their books and learning resources for widespread circulation.
Learning Boards
Over the last 15 years i have produced a large number of learning boards for LANDED. These are used by staff and volunteers to help educate young people on various topics such as alcohol, drugs, sexual health and smoking. Working closely with LANDED staff and volunteers i was able to translate their requirments into visual aids that would help engage a young audience. You can view more of them here.
Lanyards
In 2016 i produced a number of card designs to be used as lanyards by LANDED. These used a mixture of stock images and custom illustrations i produced. These were put together using Photoshop and InDesign and proved a big hit with the volunteers. You can view images below or on LANDED’s website.
Books
To date I have worked on 3 books for LANDED. All of which needed custom graphics and design work. The charity has a very distinct style and so this had to be considered when creating both the illustrations and designing the book itself. The Final files were completed using Adobe InDesign and delivered as print ready PDFs.
“LANDED have worked with George Pearson for a number of years for both graphic illustration and graphic design services. George’s knowledge in relation to design issues is second to none. George has been instrumental in supporting our project to develop a range of resources including awareness raising booklets, visual display boards, and animated content. George has the unique ability to take our loose ideas and turn them into engaging and professional resources which are widely used within the Lanarkshire area, and throughout Scotland. George is our “go to” person for all graphic work as he understands our needs and delivers with professionalism and enthusiasm.”
