Art Direction
Mark Reddy
Head of Art - Bartle Bogle Hegarty
It's been thirty or more years since I first fell in love with Art Direction.
Illustration, photography and typography have always been my play mates.
Although strangely I did win my first pencil with a radio campaign featuring Peter Sellers.
I've worked in many agencies, including Saatchi & Saatchi, Doyle Dane Bernbach, BMPDDB, and DDB to name but two.
I have also spent time pursuing other passions like sculpture and illustration.
Since 2006 I have enjoyed the extraordinary and diversely talented folk of BBH working as Head of Art.
When I last moved house I left all my strange, ugly and ill-formed awards in a large cardboard box on a high, dark shelf in the garage.
All, that is, except for the handful of lathe turned, yellow painted, beech pencils that sit proudly on my desk.
