Harry's Magic Tables is an educational app developed for the iPad for Gill & McMillan. The app is based on a popular book that is designed to help children to learn their multiplication tables. I was responsible for most of the artwork for the game section of the app as well as some UI and other screen backgrounds and elements.

Harry's Magic Tables uses a combination of existing artwork from the book and original artwork created for the app. The app is split into 2 sections, the learning section which uses the artwork from the book, adapted for digital use, and the testing section, which is constructed of original artwork. I was responsible for adapting the artwork from the book and creating the all the scenes for the game. Below are two sections which deal with the original artwork areas in more detail.

Below is the story of the game which is told through a 6 panel comic strip. I was responsible for all the artwork however the writing was done by another team member. Unfortunately, due to time constraints regarding testing, this could not be included in the final app.
