Illustration

Visual storytelling with a point of view.

We create original illustration systems and campaign visuals that help brands explain, simplify and own ideas that stock imagery never could.

We are proud to showcase our clients

Illustration Services

Illustration that makes a brand more distinctive.

Illustration can explain, humanise and differentiate a brand when photography or stock imagery cannot carry the message.

Brand Illustration

Custom illustration styles developed to become part of a recognisable brand system.

Campaign Visuals

Illustrated concepts for launches, advertising, social, print and digital campaigns.

Visual Language

Original illustration gives a brand something it can own.

Stock imagery can fill space, but it rarely builds distinction. Illustration lets a brand create its own visual world — one that competitors cannot simply download.

One Red Cow develops illustration with brand strategy behind it, so the style, tone and execution support the business rather than becoming decoration.
