GoDaddy: Turning Blog Posts into Click-Worthy Clicks
Making Knowledge Clickable
GoDaddy understood the power of visuals and called on my expertise in tech illustration to create illustrations for their blog content. The goal? To break down complex topics with clear and engaging visuals that would resonate with their audience. By integrating thoughtful editorial illustration, I was able to simplify technical concepts, making them accessible and compelling, while enhancing the overall impact of their blog posts.
Tailored for Understanding
Each illustration was custom-created to seamlessly integrate with a specific blog post, enhancing the visual blog content. My experience in editorial illustration allowed me to develop a diverse range of styles, ensuring each visual effectively complemented the written content and helped convey complex ideas in a clear and engaging way. This approach not only elevated the blog’s overall aesthetic but also strengthened the connection between the visuals and the topics being discussed.

The illustrations needed to be visually interesting while ensuring complex topics were easily understood. This was achieved by leveraging concise visuals and strategic use of colour, guiding the reader's comprehension and enhancing the overall narrative.
