PORTFOLIO
Product Brochure Design
Below are samples of work I was commissioned to do for a company in Germany called inovoo. They are always looking for a different approach to marketing and after seeing some of my artwork, they asked me to visualise their complex IT solutions by making cartoon strips featuring a character I designed for them, called NOVO Max. I was required to make two versions of each story, replacing any written English with German. They were printed in Product Brochures.
![]() Sick Dog StoryMy first commission from inovoo was a story involving Scruff the dog, who eats rat poison at a pub on a Sunday afternoon. | ![]() Inovoo Xmas CartoonThe second cartoon I was asked to make was a Christmas story advertising their product. | ![]() Image CollectionA closer look at most of the images from both brochures. |

The high-resolution image on the right was printed onto a roll-up banner for use at a sales conference in Las Vegas. It was used as part of a competition in which people Tweeted photos of themselves with the character to win a prize.
