Hire the Best Illustrators in Auckland, NZ

Hello there! Jon Kay, cartoonist-at-large, here - I have considerable experience in a wide range of design, illustration and cartooning, story telling and animation techniques; both as a freelancer and as a student of Yoobee School of Design in Auckland, New Zealand. At Yoobee, I have gained qualifications in both graphic design and film making; so I know my way around following client briefs, page design and layouts, pre-press, research and idea development; as well as developing a firm grasp on the importance of planning, attention to detail - and, in many cases, not backing down until a particularly frustrating design challenge has been overcome! In my time in Yoobee’s film-making courses, I have created stories and scripts(both serious and comedic), storyboards and concept designs for short films, music videos, animated TV intros and motion graphics assignments (both my own and working in a group); as well as developing both hand-drawn and vector art assets (characters, props, backgrounds and title screens) for several short animated films, and bringing them to animated life using Adobe AfterEffects and the brilliant little plug-in DUiK. My freelancing work and personal projects also rely heavily on my illustration and writing skills: among other things, I have created parody advertisements, comics and character art for the Fight Squad project; multiple comic strips and comic book stories for my pop-culture-savvy series Cosmos; gig posters for the Auckland-based ‘ukulele collective’ Four Dollars Thirty; and am one chapter away from completing my sci-fi / adventure / humour-drama novel Island of the Bargain-basement Dinosaurs! How’s that for diversity? I love coming up with and developing ideas, and finding creative ways to make a story, character or situation that little bit different - anything that fires my imagination, I’m all over it.....

My Name is Anthony Robertson, and I'm a Product designer. I have vast experience in many aspects of design, especially the luxury furniture and homeware industry, both in the residential and commercial sectors. What I enjoy and what pushes me within design is the opportunity for optimising and improving; wether this be through aesthetic design, product function, sustainable material usage, assembly, production processes or streamlining manufacturing; I have always had a curiosity in making things better. I have an itch for problem solving, and I use this as a base for setting groundwork for any projects. I have worked with numerous design teams in Hong Kong, China, New Zealand, France and the United States. I pride myself on my knowledge and experience in all aspects of the design, development and production process. I have a strong understanding of the detailed technical tasks required to bring products and projects to life. I understand the importance of communication throughout the design process. Design is not a one man show, rather a cohesion of specific and honed ideas between numerous parties. Product Design is my passion, I hold a strong connection and desire to create innovative solutions to push boundaries and create unique connections and experiences between people and the products they use. Currently based in Paris, where I have set up and established my own design practice, freelancing on both local and international projects. Please free free to contact me directly for more information about myself, past, current or future projects. Website - anthonyrobertsondesign.com
