Editorial illustrations for Brighter magazineIllustrating smart money choices for CommBank
Commonwealth Bank launched its branded magazine Brighter in 2023 to share approachable, insightful stories on lifestyle and finance. I was brought on to illustrate key features across two issues, helping bring topics like homemade condiments and EOFY tax tips to life in a warm, engaging way.
Drawing from the bank’s colour palette, I used hand-drawn elements and soft textures to create a friendly, down-to-earth visual style that complements the content and reinforces the magazine’s accessible tone.
