4. Client/Audi
Tim’s work for Audi was a motion piece which portrayed a
race final. It was a combination of digital and hand drawn
imagery which was cleverly composed to form an interesting
animation.
5. Client/Rihanna
His piece for Rihanna was an animation that depicted her tour
book. This motion featured splashes of colour which created
focus points throughout the animation.
6. Client/KFC
He created a number advertisement pieces for KFC. The
vibrant colours in this piece have been cleverly used and can
be associated with the brand.
7. Client/Nike
His work for Nike was an advertising campaign and the bold
orange colour is often associated with the Nike tick.
8. Tim has created a number of editorial
pieces for a variety of clients. This piece
works well as the planes represent a
country, and the flags support this. The
images represent travel with bold colours
being used. The red is a warm colour which
represents holidays, travelling and warm
weather
9. Inspiration
A few of his inspirations are the Clayton Brothers, David
Hughes and Christian Northeast
10. Techniques
Tim Marrs uses drawing, photography, print and digital
techniques in his work, he draws attention on American
pulp and pop culture and uses this throughout as part of
his style. Tim also claims to have an ‘adaptable style.’
11. Slash
Bold colours are used with the black and dark
blue, these dark colours make the sparks from
the train, the moon and the cigarette stand
out.
The imagery is very abstract with train having
a skull face
The hierarchy is the train first with slash and
the moon behind it. When you look closer you
can see the skulls hair turns into tree branches
The technique he used was illustrator on a
computer

13. Person with a guitar
The colours in this piece are very bold and contrast well with one another. By using a
yellow behind the head, it creates a main focal point for the image and the warm orange
tones contrast well alongside the blues.
The imagery in this piece consists of photographs which have been layered. Tim has
almost created a hierarchy structure in which the head has been made to be a focal point
and stand out the most against other imagery.
The main techniques in this piece consist of layering and collage. By using a number of
images related to music Tim easily communicates the idea of this piece being music
related. As well as this he has used texture which creates a sense of a hand made
element.
The most successful element in this piece is the use of colors which ties all the images
together. I also think the shape work is really effective as it draws attention to the central
image.
