Drawing back to fundamental with a surpassing beauty - Hennie Haworth

Just passed her 24 year-old birthday, the British illustrator Hennie Haworth received her Bachelor degree with honor from Brighton University two years ago. Her works are alive with creativity and dexterity. Even small daily objects are drawn with her own stylish sketches. In a heavily computer-dependent world, she painstakingly draws each and every letter stroke with leaping colors, by hand, onto the seemingly complicated composition to build up various typographical styles. Hennie intentionally transforms the primary design element, typography, in retrospective to the essentiality of human writing and drawing.

Freshly out of school, Hennie is striving to establish her own career and style in the fierce competitive British graphic design scene. However, she still tries to carve out a niche out of the traditional myth of 'commercial vs. art.' Her niche seems to be in combining public interests and education. For example, in the 'Sound and Image' project, she tries to juxtapose the color waves and sound waves in combining the scientific 'hands-on' approach and the artistic 'hands-off' result to demonstrate a possible and, probably, more fruitful learning approach to contemporary teaching of the Art and Science.

Hennie is currently working as a production assistant of the Global Design Award of the British D&AD Awards. Her works had appeared on British magazines such as 'Cent', 'Bulb', and 'Time Out.' She is also a contract illustrator for 'Plan B' , a music magazine published all over UK.
