Planning an Illustration from 3 different articles.

A few weeks ago we were asked to create an Illustration for an article, we had the choosing from 3 articles, 'Resurgence and Ecologist,' 'North Coast 500' and 'Ambition and Illustration.'
The following links below are for each of the articles.

I decided to get right into it, by reading through the articles thoroughly and taking notes, while also creating small thumbnails for designs that I may take forward.

Birthday Illustration

Image
After having projects, and other assignments through the holidays, I had a family members birthday (to be exact my mum.)

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.)
