HAYLEY ACREMAN


About Myself and Work

From when I was 16 studying for my GCSE's I knew it was illustration that I wanted to focus my career on, ever since then it has been made clear that this is definitely what I strive for. Six years later and I am ready for the real world as a General Illustration Graduate.

My favoured area of illustration focuses on children's books, and greeting cards, however I do have good background knowledge in editorial, advertising, book jackets and other jobs, which have allowed me to experiment with my desire of painting and drawing. I have also achieved computer skills and feel confident in using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Quark Express.

While at University I had the pleasure of working on an external project with Mark Mills from Meadowside Books, a London Publisher. Over a series of stages I was given feedback and advice on a picture book called ‘Found You Rabbit’, written and illustrated by myself. It was without a doubt my most enjoyable project while at Swansea Institute, and gave me the valuable experience and knowledge of the publication process. Now the book has 3 final pieces complete and the rest in a dummy book format I hope to get it published in the near future.
