I have took on my critique from the post previous and have created an illustration that is much more concept driven. Concept is important in editorial illustration (especially if the article is 'dry'). The concept also draws people in to these articles that they might usually skim over.
For this illustration I focussed on using the creative op-ed style layout where the text was incorporated within the illustration.
A challenge that I faced on this was learning how to wrap the text around the illustration as I couldn't find anything online explaining- however I got there in the end! I could probably of improved on the shape that i put the text into as there are spaces where it doesn't flow so well. The concept behind this was it was like companies have interns on tap, I wonder how easy it is for the viewer to receive this or if it just looks a bit silly? Maybe it would of been better if the tap was better drawn and the people each had different styles of clothes/hair etc. I would also say that the plug hole at the bottom could of been a bit bigger however if this were printed in the New Yorker, it would be much bigger than the screen here.
