Despite the summer feeling so far in the past, we’d thought we’d share with you some fantastic artwork by our illustrator Sim Marriott!
Sim was commissioned by Cedar Communications to produce a front cover based on an article about travelling to Sardinia, Cyprus, New York and the Dominican Republic with kids!
The character design on the cover is fantastic and took over a week to design – we really recommend you click on the image to check out the larger version!
There is! Seriously!
Skoda’s latest machine to rev out of their factory doors is called Yeti. Archibald Ingall Stretton are in charge of their digital marketing and approached us a few weeks ago with a brief: The Yeti needed a more picture-book feel, in order to appeal to Mum’s.
Our Karen Cheung was perfect for the task! She drew various illustrative parts and hand-painted them before sending them to AIS’s digital department for a breath of life. There will be 3 pop-up-book-like digital banner campaigns featuring Karen’s fantastic artwork.
We’re excited to reveal the first has just gone live – go to: http://www.whatcar.com/Search/yeti/ and pull on the tabs!
The past week we’ve been holding a Halloween Design competition, where we’ve asked you – our friends – to design a Halloween-Themed Mr Jelly Pants. (No idea what we’re talking about? Click here)
This year has been the best response we’ve had so far for publicity and entries and we’d like to say thank you to everyone who had the time to enter! Let’s not forget everyone who forwarded the e-mail to their friends and re-tweeted our posts for entries. Thank you too!
The office has got a little heated with debate with who should win… hence why it’s taken us 4 hours to decide!!
The winner of our Halloween Competition was sent to us by illustrator Kareen Herbert! Our office instantly fell in love with this and she received the most votes in our office by a long-shot!!
She chose our Trick Prize – which means she’ll be receiving a lovely box of random stuff found around our office! (A sneak peek here!)
Our runners up were submitted by Glenn Maguire at Sparkle Media and Matt Poscha at Proximity London – well done to you both!!

If you missed out on the chance to win, but still made – or would like to make – a Mr Jelly Pants, please send them in! We’d love to feature everyone’s versions of Mr Jelly Pants in our gallery.
All our current entrants and any we receive in the next few days will receive an Alison Carmichael Abandon Hope poster as a huge thank you from us at jelly – you’ve all put huge smiles on our faces

jelly hello!
October has seen Pizza Express throw some fantastic deals at their customers; and displayed some rather tasty artwork by Alison Carmichael.
Work Club approached Alison a few months ago with the idea for dough lettering. jelly worked along side Pizza Express’s very own “Dough Master” to shoot a very large batch of dough with Alison’s letters cut out…
jelly soon realised that this wasn’t the way forward, and another shoot was organised with a real Pizza Express Chef – and the lettering was re-touched later.
If you’d like to see the version online – and of course, get some cheap pizza deals! – go to www.pizzaexpress-offers.co.uk
jelly hello!
Our fantastic Brand Nu recently provided his artistic touch to Acer laptops. His illustrations were used on a 20-page supplement in the September Windows Now Magazine.
“I had open reign how to interpret the brief, which resulted in mixture of photography, handrawn and simple vectors to emphasise the perspective and user stories. The work was very enjoyable, it gave me a platform to try yet again to push the trademark ‘Brand Nu’ style in different direction”.
You can see more on his blog here!
Last week, Charlie and Chris were asked by Steph Webb at Coventry Uni’s ‘Charge Team’ to come and talk to their third year Graphics and Illustration course students.
Charge is a wonderful student organisation that raises funds for the Coventry end of year show by organising talks from such industry luminaries as Si Scott and other UK design/illustration heavyweights. Our own jelly heavyweights went to see them with a laptop full of jelly projects and two heads full of sound advice about how to get on in our tricky business.
The guys talked for over an hour and then were whisked off to the pub by the students where they answered more questions in return for drinks… a far trade we thought.
Jelly are happy to be involved in a great cause like Charge and hope to get involved again the future!
You can see more pictures from the event on our flickr page here!
Good Morning!
We were really excited to see our latest artwork by Neil Duerden in the Shortlist magazine this morning.
The Freedom campaign for latest Samsung X-Series laptop was directed by our friend Kelly Sands at Beattie McGuinness Bungay. Neil was asked to illustrate and express the freedom of having 9 hours of battery life on the laptop; we think he did a fantastic job!
Click on the image for a larger size – or, if you grabbed a Shortlist on your journey this morning, check it out in it’s full glory!
The fantastic guys at the Shortlist Magazine just tweeted me their digital version of today’s issue! If you’d like to see Neil’s work online click here and flick through to page 51!
jelly hello!
So, we’ve recently been having a clear out of the jelly archives. We have a huge drive full of images in random places for various clients, just happily collecting pixel-dust. Chelsie stumbled across one particular folder which is just fantastic! These were drawn by Neil Duerden, Jan Kallwejt and Sim Marriott around this time last year, for our favourite postal service – the Royal Mail.
With the current strike action and warnings in the news about getting your Christmas Cards in the post NOW! the use of a snow plough does seem a little appropriate…
Our fantastic Spanish illustrator Sandra Suy has just released her beautiful and elegant illustrations to the general public. She’s set-up shop with Etsy.com and has a wide range of her fashion/model artwork available as prints, starting from $35 USD!
If you’d like to have Sandra’s artwork in your home or office, please visit:
Not so long ago, the London agency Krow approached jelly and Alison Carmichael to come up with some squidgy, creamy type for the new Hellman’s print campaign.
Alison created all the headlines by hand and then collaborated with jelly’s in-house digital type gurus to create a font for the body copy of the Ad, that could be easily amended and used for future work.
The final result… some really yummy-looking adverts. Nom Nom!
