Study Task 2: Editorial Illustrators

Aad Goudappel and Paul Blow


  • Goudappel translates complex ideas and abstract themes into clear and powerful images usually relating to issues and themes within todays society.
  • He works digitally, frequently using Illustrator.
  • I really like his use of simple vectors - it makes the image look extremely clear and not too overwhelming to look at.
  • I think the simplistic colour palette is very effective, the contrasting pink and blue make the image look very visually appealing and help represent the main features of the image. I also really like they way the greys and blacks have been carefully selected - they really help portray the darker side to the image and helps Goudappels message be more perceived.


  • Paul Blows work also really appeals to me - love his simplistic colour palette.
  • his work almost looks screen printed, the block colours against the line work are very visually appealing. 
  • his messages within his editorials are simple and straight forward.
  • works in digital methods.
