These are my final pieces from the editorial brief (brief 1). I am glad to complete them and feel that I have succeeded in doing what I set out to do. My original rationale for this, in brief, was to explore the realm of editorial illustration more as it is of great interest as well as helping build my creative thinking/concept skills and get me used to working in a short time frame by creating each piece within a 24 hour window.
Though they are all from different news stories, they are all from the New York times newspaper as well as all having the same strict colour scheme. I have also worked to strict frames to reflect how it could be when doing it for real. These frames are a square, letterbox, spot illustrations, creative op-ed style and a double page spread. I have enjoyed having these constraints around the work and this speaks volumes about me and my practice. It also is a reason why editorial illustration is so good for me to pursue. As I am not a graphic designer, these designs are not excellent with the layout/type however you can get a good idea. This job wouldn't be mine to do anyway so I am not particularly worried about it.
