My 2 briefed articles for Editorial Illustration from my Art Director

We were asked to create an editorial illustration by the guidance of a friend, the brief given was fast paced and really kept me on my toes. The chosen friend was asked to find an article that best suited our work but was also challenging for us in the sense that it would allow use to engage with a wide range of new idea-generating strategies.
The chosen article given to me was from the 'New York Times', it was about Caribou's disappearing and them being endangered.

After taking some notes, and a short group discussion my Art Director decided to change the article, not only because majority of the class had chosen wildlife.
Although she decided to change my article I still did some thumbnails of ideas that maybe would've been my final illustration for my article.
The idea for the illustrations above was to show that the Caribou are endangered by not only humans but by other species living in their habitat.


The second article I was given was called 'Understand-it hurts':giants of dance reveal its tolls and triumphs, from 'The Guardian.'

To end this project on book covers, I have created 2 book covers for 'Penguin Books' on ' To Kill A Mockingbird,' one is digitally done, and the other is hand-rendered, using inks, pens and paints. My first Illustrated book cover was a digital copy, using photoshop and the elects on the programme provided. The reason I used the 'dripped blood' was because while reading about the story and the court case, I thought about the year it was set (1960) so I wanted to keep the simplistic Black and White colours, to highlight the fact the movie as well as the book is more vintage than up to date. I created this piece in photoshop using the paint tool to drip the blood (background) down 3/4 of the page. I then thought about what would be my main Illustration on the front. At first I wanted the blood to drip from the mockingbird, but thought this would take away the main Illustration of the cover as the background is already dripping.  I then sketched up a rough dra...

Birthday Illustration

Image
After having projects, and other assignments through the holidays, I had a family members birthday (to be exact my mum.) I decided to take a break from doing other projects and focus on something sentimental, so I recreated one of her favourite quotes, as well as trying to do digital art. (Which I still need practise with.)

Summary of this module.

Throughout this module we've been given a variety of different projects to create Editorial Illustrations for. This module for me was challenging and really made me come out of my comfort, on the other hand this wasn't so bad as I learned new techniques and styles for my work in future. For our first project we were asked to create an illustration from the choosing of 3 different articles, my chosen article was about an argument between Earth and the Economy, my final illustration can be found in the link below. https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5597838232629992456#editor/target=post;postID=5637595657328368431;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=9;src=link The next project was to create an Illustration from an article given to us by our Art Director and Illustrator (Nicolas Stevenson.)
