Posy Simmonds

Posy Simmonds briefly studied fine art, swapping to graphic design,
She had her own weekly strip-cartoon in the Guardian and also contributed filler drawings for a range of feature articles in the paper and in 1987 she started to write and illustrate children's fiction.
Posey creates ‘Cartoon’ strips using illustrative hand drawings and type, her drawing I am looking at is a cartoon strip from the Guardian and shows the story of a woman using visual images and text to direct the viewer through the story.
Her work has not completely inspired me for my own designs, as I like her work but do not want my book to go fully in this cartoon strip direction. I will use her work to help me create a book which uses illustrations and small amounts of type to tell a story which the viewer fully understands.
