Charlotte Trounce

I recent­ly dis­cov­ered Flamin­go Mag­a­zine, an illus­tra­tion pub­li­ca­tion based in Lon­don.  They have a phys­i­cal mag­a­zine as well as a blog, which is how I dis­cov­ered the work of Char­lotte Trounce.

There is a big focus on shape and stroke in Char­lot­te’s work. Her strokes are light and lines are incon­sis­tent, which gives her styl­ized shapes depth. Their sym­bol­iza­tion starts to bring them into the world of icons, which espe­cial­ly works well in her map making!
