Vicky Yorke Designs

The Stationery Show 2016 took place in London at the end of April (26th - 27th) and I was thrilled to receive these photos from stationery experts,  Maped Helix this week, which show one of my designs in action!  Several months ago I was asked by Maped Helix to create a design for a giant colouring page to be used at the show to demonstrate their adult colouring products, which include colouring pens and pencils. The brief was to create a unisex design, which incorporated geometric and mandala style elements that would work around their existing 'National Stationery Week' typography. There was a huge amount of drawing involved in the design to make sure that the illustration remained detailed even at an enlarged scale and this kept me busy and very happy for several days!  I loved working on this project and am so happy to see my illustration featuring in the wonderful stand design as well as seeing how much fun people had colouring it in!

Earlier in the year I created a Christmas line drawing page and submitted it to a selection panel for the Art Licensing Show Christmas colouring book . The idea of the colouring book is to be a free downloadable resource that can be used by anyone from schools to hospitals in order to spread some cheer over the festive season. I was delighted to find that not only was my page selected for inclusion in the colouring book, but my designs are also used on the inside and back covers. Hopefully it will help to spread lots of happiness this Christmas! Use the link in pink to download your copy!
