ABOUT DAN

Welcome to the website of illustrator and graphic designer, Dan Bramall,  (a.k.a. The Scribbler). This website has been designed as an online portfolio divided into the different areas of my work, including a shop where I sell paintings and prints.

My work is graphic, colourful and fun and inspiration comes from the graphics used in popular culture, signage, my love of animals, picture books and the absurd things in life.

I studied Graphic Arts in Liverpool (ages ago) and more recently (but still quite a long time ago) did an M.A. in Illustration. I have worked as a creative in many different sectors including as a catalogue designer and an interractive designer/animator for educational projects. I have also designed websites, logos, loads of marketing material and worked as a cover designer for Penguin Books.

My clients include international and local companies such as British Gas, Robert Wiseman Dairies, HarperCollins, Bloomsbury Books, Penguin Books, Cambridge University Press, The NHS, Ikea and TK Maxx.

My digital illustration and graphic design has been commissioned for book cover art, magazine imagery, poster art, gas bills, milk cartons and promotional material for a music festival to name just a few.

I am a logo designer and help companies to stand out from the crowd and express their personalities.

My motion graphics and animation skills are used for promo films and explainer videos. 

I also do graphic recording capturing the content of meetings or training sessions for corporate clients
