Ryan Michael Gilks

BA (Hons) Illustration

BA Illustration tour poster design by Ryan Michael Gilks showing a range of tour dates with visual assets taken from the Blood Orange video
NUA Award Winner

Over my journey on Illustration, my practice has evolved into digital design and motion graphics, now primarily producing transferable assets for multiple outputs and contexts. I am driven by contemporary culture and current trends seeing my work as a visual collage and celebration of visual culture.

I am passionate about disrupting the expectations and associations of visual culture by looking out into new emerging technologies such as AR and VR and applying technical skills with Blender, After Effects and the Adobe Suite. I enjoy producing content for across screen and print such as social media, editorial illustration, video content and poster design.
