Scobie's work is loosely divided into three categories. Recent Creativity and
Archive are chronological, with Recent Creativity positioned in the menu to encourage
people to view it first.
Work in the Drawing section exhibits a distinctly different feel from the rest of
Scobie's work. Putting this work in a separate gallery space is a very smart decision, as
an illustrator's style is his most distinguishing selling point. People can explore this
area, but prospective clients are channeled first to
the "Recent Creativity" section, where his identifiable
style predominates.
Another smart decision is what is not on
the site. Many creatives struggle with how to catego-
rize and present their material in one place. How
much is too much? What will clients want to see, as
opposed to other artists or friends? Visit Scobie's
Links menu and you'll find a list of self-publishing
sites. Although part of his strategy is just to get his
work out into the world as widely as possible, he's selected each site for a purpose.
Each contains a diffent type or mix of content: artist notebooks and work in progress
on Flickr, thoughts and comments on specific projects in the blog.
My blog is only for certain com-
missions or personal projects and
Behance, like my website,
is designed to showcase only my
best work. I always get the most
feedback from Flickr, which dis-
plays raw ideas.
—Will Scobie
Except in the Recent Creativity section,
where the most recent project pushes the
older one to the right, the artwork is not
arranged in any particular order. In this
case, the lack of regimented structure is
very consistent with the playful and
surprising character of Scobie's work.
