Imaan is 23 years old and is currently completing her masters in illustration at Salford University.

Imaan has been drawing and illustrating for as long as she can remember. Putting pictures to the adventure stories she loved to read as a child sparked her passion for art.
Imaan studied art at school and when she went to college, realised that a new art world would be opened to her if she learned about computer technology.

Advancing her computing skills has completely changed her art and Imaan now produces a comic strip that's published every quarter in the community newspaper 'Old Trafford News'.
"The Adventures of Vernon Vermin" tells the tale of a rat that has too easy a life because of all the rubbish and litter the area suffers from.

Imaan would not be able to publish her hand drawn art without the use of computers. She scans in her original illustrations and then colours and lays out her sketches with software called Illustrator. This makes her artwork far easier to publish, which means that more people can see her illustrations as a result.

Having her artwork seen in the comic strip has led to Imaan designing community posters and logos; which should help her CV for future work. Imaan also uploads her illustrations to her own blog so even more people can see her work. She's currently learning moving animation at college too.

Imaan lives at home with her dad and has access to a laptop there. She can do some of her work on that but the computers available at the St John's Community Centre (where the magazine is published from), are where the main bulk of her work's produced.
