Not a problem for Simon Williams

The Daily Mail’s Monday problem page proves not to be such a stress for Simon Williams. He is commissioned by Craig Gunn every week for the Lifestyle section; currently written by Anne Diamond to lighten the problems of the week. Created in Photoshop, Simon’s contemporary graphic style contrasts the problematic nature of the text which is sent in from the general public. He has a fair bit of freedom being given just the outline to each question asked, so he doesn’t get too bogged down with the individual issues. Check his work out every Monday in The Daily Mail.

Williams Revamps Classics

Revamped by Simon Williams, we are about to see a range of classic childrens’ DVDs hit our shops. Tennille Toussaint at Entertainment Rights gave Simon the challenge of providing posters and DVD covers for Trumpton, Chigley Cross and Camberwick Green. The original photos and puppets were just too poor in quality to use, so Simon re-drew the characters and backgrounds to give us all scenes we remember so well.
