A graphic designer/illustrator currently on a gap year between his BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design and university, Sam Austin is taking this time to expand his skills in various software to help develop what he hopes will become an influential style.

“I love being able to create exciting portraits that express a mash-up of emotions through colour and lighting,” says Austin. “I am currently looking to work with a design agency in London, and I am also working hard to redesign my website and update my portfolio with more exciting work in order to gain further recognition in the design field.” It looks like if anyone is going to put paid to the suggestion that gap years are a waste of time, it’s Sam Austin.

Circular Vision A personal project, combining work in Illustrator and Photoshop. “My portfolio lacked the use of vivid colours,” says Austin, “so I really tried to emphasise them and make the piece as bold as possible.”
