Our latest entries for the New Talent Annual 2020 feature creative illustrations, drawing influence from the landscape and nature. Students Hollis Campbell and Craig Moscony in the Tyler School of Art, at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, strive to capture the essence of their respective environments.
In his work, Campbell focuses on the nine beaches of Cape May County, with the intention of creating a cohesive illustration. He believes every beach has a personality, which inspired him to design eleven unique beach tags, the first of a seven-part project (above), entitled “Jersey Cape.” The challenge for Campbell, in pursuing this project, was creating a branding system that allowed each tag to showcase the fun and whimsical atmosphere of each location. In order to achieve cohesion, he chose to use a single illustration style to highlight all of the key elements of the landscape. With the support of Professor Abby Guido, Campbell was able to push his illustration skills and create a vibrant representation of the Jersey Cape.
