Meet the Judges: Jamie Trendall

Jamie Trendall is a magazine art director based in London. He has over 15 years experience working for companies such as the BBC, the Times Newspaper, Haymarket publishing, as well as smaller design studios. Commissioning illustrators has played a key of part in his work and he has been privileged enough to have been a judge for the Association of Illustrators and Transport for London’s Art on the Underground. Jamie has the distinction of being our first art director to judge the 3x3 Student Show.

What Jamie will be looking for:

I love it when an illustrator surprises me, so I’m hoping to be both excited and surprised by some wonderful ideas, as well as fantastic execution. For me the winning artwork will need to not only instantly engage me, but also make me want to come back for more.
