John Cartwright's THE CREATIVE EYE

The Creative Eye Collection.

From graphic design media and marketing to portraits on a gallery wall, creativity has the power to make us laugh, cry, persuade and buy.

With career experience as an art director, designer, artworker, senior designer, web designer, print designer, digital designer, visualiser, tea boy, creative director, and designer (again), this website is a collection of his commercial and personal non-commercial work. He has rarely shared his personal photography, illustration, drawings or artwork before.

Passionate. Professional.

Previously worked with small and medium-sized businesses, national and international brands, plus in-house and agency-side studios. John now operates as an independent freelancer offering bespoke design and digital services for everyone, anywhere.

Happy to take on your projects and commissions, big or small from his home design studio (or on-site). Lives in rural South West Wales with his wife, Tina, and other forms of wildlife.

What I Do

Concepts

Thoughts, ideas and visualisation. Show me, what's it gonna look like?

Room transformations, set designs and vibrant layouts to help promote and sell the overall concept.

Infographics

Styled technical drawings and information graphics.

Make (something) simpler or easier to do or understand. Created with a bit of flair to convey the message attractively and cost-effectively.

Illustration inc Cartoons, Freehand

Sometimes something whacky and off-the-wall works.

...and giving it a personal and unique touch helps add to the value and originality. It can also bring a smile to the face when the message is 'got'.

Storyboards

Graphics and images that communicate a story, vision or theme.

Helping clients realise their vision through visualisation and understanding helps knit together scenes of what a themed room, live show, conference, video or movie might look like.

Traditional Drawing and Mediums

Artworks with just a little hint of self-indulgence.

Not the normal commercial side, but examples of experimentation with form, matter and colour. Even these can lead to viable commercial solutions.

Photography

Images of inspiration.

Captured moments in time. Some could be artworks in themselves, others a personal reflection of what was observed and captured.

Commercial Services

Successful pitch work for T-Mobile. Comped images then painted with digital guache

Concept, theme and printed design of recognition and motivational scheme branded literature for Deloitte

Exhibition graphics 3m banner for macaws ai

Illustration and concept of POS promotion for Compass Foods

...and mostly available
