Delivery

Illustrators and designers often use several medias of platform to get their creations across to their fans and to the general public, and in todays new modern age, there has never been more ways to achieve this. Illustrators have so many options, from gallery exhibitions, to plush toys, billboards to clothing design, the opportunities are endless and forever growing. Jon Burgerman, a british born designer and illustrator, uses as many possible platforms available to him and his designs, and is a brilliant example of an artist that uses more than one platorm throughout their career. Burgerman has worked on several types of surfaces, thus reaching out to a large audience. Burgerman's main platform is 2d work, wether it be wall illustrations, to poster design. Burgerman's wallpaper design is completely unique and inspiring to other creators. Not only has this delivery got the option to be mass produced, but it is also going to be seen by hundreds, and last a long time, not just like an exhibtion. It is inspiring to other designers, as it is inviting them to colour and draw all over it. Another piece of 2-D work of Burgerman's, a front page cover of 'Computer Arts' magazine, a popular choice of creatives and designers, is classically set in his style of cartoon drawing, using the space and colour wisely. Front cover design on a magazine of such high reputation would of boosted the interest in Burgermans work, creating more enquiry and a bigger interest in his styles, methods and thoughts on art. However, Burgerman doesn't just design on 2-D designs, and has produced many fantastic pieces of 3-D modelling. His design on the 18" graphic model 'munny', was extrememly popular when exhibited, promoting both the design and the branding, and showing that they can work together. The 'munny' is very bold and busy, which completely signifies Burgerman in every drawing, as it is covered in his almost randomly designed yet prefectly placed together characters. 

In conclusion, Burgerman always very carefully chooses his platform to deliver his illustrations, and yet, it always works, and would quite possibly always word on just the same piece of paper. He makes sure that the work he has created is placed on the right playform for maximum potential audiences, and the maximum inspiration. As new delivery method's modernise, I would not doubt Burgerman, or other illustrators will be experimenting within it, to find even more exciting ways of expressing their work.
