For the illustration, I got photos of the actors and a copy of the script, which was plenty to provide the illustrations needed. I then made as many images as I could with the budget allocation, designed the booklet and created one page website resource, getting the domain and hosting sorted too.
The play, Ward 67, written by Sam Jamil, is currently touring schools in the North West. You can check out the website here.
This is a great example of a project where I can cover a few bases at the same time efficiently; illustration, print design, website, domain name and hosting. I've been what's called a 'Creative Generalist' for quite a while, moving between disciplines to get the job done, and while I feel increasingly there are clients out there might believe that wanting this might mean using a handful of services, or blowing the budget, it's really just about knowing where to go and which freelancer to use.
Multi-disciplined designers are out there, and I've worked with a few. As the creative industry becomes more competitive, I foresee there will be more 'multi-skilled' designers on the scene, as the work necessitates.
