Amelias Anthology of Illustration - Review

January 31st, 2010 · No Comments · Birmingham, Bristol, Featured artists, Graphic Design, Illustration, London, News

It was with great anticipation and delight that we delved into the pages of Amelias Anthology of Illustration, a new book created and designed by Amelia Gregory. Illustrating the exciting and innovative ways we can work together to beat climate change, this stunning volume brings together the unique vision of 40 illustrators and their insights into renewable technology.

Herself a climate activist, Amelia Gregory (publisher, art director, graphic designer and creator of Amelia’s magazine) was inspired by her years working with illustrators on Amelia’s magazine, and her belief that “Illustrators are perfectly placed to make these new renewable technologies tangible to a wider audience”. The result is a fun, colouful and informative book on climate change, with a good balance of scientific fact and candid interviews with talented illustrators.

The beautiful illustrations by Karolin Schnoor (Sea Green image, pictured) and Ana Botezatu, (above) were particularly impressive. The book is bursting with hand drawn artwork and has a very crafty feel throughout. All in all it’s a lovely, informative read, and one that I hope will provide creative inspiration for many years to come.

Amelias Anthology of Illustration is priced at £20 and available to buy through ameliasmagazine.com.
