Leaflet Design | Graphic Design

This live project, we have to design the leaflet for our local hospital, KGH (Kettering General Hospital), a leaflet full of information of Asthma.

So, I started doing development to design the layouts and design the illustrating for the covers of leaflet.

I chose to use Indesign rather than using OuarkXPress because I thought Indesign is easy to work on and also I don’t have Quark on the desktop I currently use, so I have to use Indesign.


This background goes on both side. The front cover image is separate but is linked to the background, and also the field to link with.


I used the gradient mesh tool to create the shadows and highlight on their clothes and hair, to make them look quite realistic.

First thing I started to design the leaflet is the layout on every page, then added the NHS logo and then write up from the copy leaflet sheet. Then I used illustrator for the background, I planned to use a field with pale blue sky and clouds and at the front of the background I use two people, a child and a parent. The child and a parent are only on the front page or page 1 of the leaflet and the rest of other pages are just the field with sky and cloud as a background. On page 6 ‘This is my medication’, I made the text boxes filling in white so they can read when write it.

There are some things I changed it when I need it to improve are the text boxes on Safe Zone page, I made the filling colour a bit darker than the sky from the background, I changed the arrows into shorter so there are enough room for the text boxes and the background on page 5 and 6, I changed the field to same level as the front cover.



The client feedback that they want to changed some bits, the front cover they said that the grass colour is too dark for someone to write it, so I brighten it up. And on the Safe Zone page, they want the text boxes more see through like on Green, Amber and Red Zone pages.

I am very pleased with my leaflet design, I have improved the design and layout, better than before, in 1st year.

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t
