His work has had a positive impact on society by raising awareness of the leaked BP oil harvested on the beaches of Grand Isle, Louisiana. Burrill collected some oil to print a limited edition poster, using the statement 'Oil & Water Do Not Mix'.
During an interview, Burrill describes how his iconic use of language has developed:
'I’ve followed my own path and maintained a consistent tone of voice. This wasn’t a particularly conscious decision, it’s always felt quite natural and honest. My work is an extension of my character, I like to keep things simple and direct, in both my work and my approach to life. Visually the work has similar threads running through it that haven’t altered much over the past twenty years. I like simple colour palettes, a small range of typefaces, and easily accessible materials. The main thing for me is to make work that engages and amuses people.'
I am struggling to develop a voice for my solution, however Burrill's straight forward and to the point use of linguistics shows that a simple message can create a big impact.
