John Cartwright's THE CREATIVE EYE

The Creative Eye Collection.

From graphic design media and marketing to portraits on a gallery wall, creativity has the power to make us laugh, cry, persuade and buy.

Hello! I'm John, and I've spent my career bringing ideas to life – from helping businesses tell their stories through design to capturing quiet moments in photographs.

Passionate. Professional.

Over the years, I've worn many hats: art director, graphic designer, creative director, and artworker. While most know me for my commercial work with both global brands and local businesses, this site also opens the door to my personal collection of photography, illustrations, and artwork – pieces I've kept mostly to myself until now.

These days, you'll find me in my studio in beautiful South West Wales, where I work independently with clients near and far. Whether you need a complete brand overhaul or a single piece of design work, I'm here to help bring your vision to life – either remotely or on-site.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me sharing my corner of Wales with my wife Tina and our regular visitors from the local wildlife.

What I Do

Concepts

Thoughts, ideas and visualisation. Show me, what's it gonna look like?

Room transformations, set designs and vibrant layouts to help promote and sell the overall concept.

Infographics

Styled technical drawings and information graphics.

Make (something) simpler or easier to do or understand. Created with a bit of flair to convey the message attractively and cost-effectively.

Illustration inc Cartoons, Freehand

Sometimes something whacky and off-the-wall works.

...and giving it a personal and unique touch helps add to the value and originality. It can also bring a smile to the face when the message is 'got'.

Storyboards

Graphics and images that communicate a story, vision or theme.

Helping clients realise their vision through visualisation and understanding helps knit together scenes of what a themed room, live show, conference, video or movie might look like.

Traditional Drawing and Mediums

Artworks with just a little hint of self-indulgence.

Not the normal commercial side, but examples of experimentation with form, matter and colour. Even these can lead to viable commercial solutions.

Photography

Images of inspiration.

Captured moments in time. Some could be artworks in themselves, others a personal reflection of what was observed and captured.

Commercial Services

...and mostly available
