Behance Illustrator and Graphic Designer Portfolio: Ian David Marsden

Behance Illustrator and Graphic Designer Portfolio – Ian David Marsden

I’ve recently updated my Behance portfolio to showcase a more complete and strategic selection of client work, organized as in-depth case studies. As a freelance illustrator, cartoonist, and creative director, I focus on helping clients communicate visually — whether through editorial illustration, branding, UX systems, packaging, scientific outreach, or storytelling for games and animation.

Each Behance project includes not just visuals but also detailed documentation of the brief, my role, and how I approached the challenge — from sketches to final delivery. I’ve aligned the presentation with my LinkedIn profile and website, to provide a coherent and professional snapshot for prospective clients and collaborators.
