This was a college assignment.
The Brief:
To work in pairs, Illustrator and Art director for each other. We were to keep in mind typography, layout and illustration.
My article dealt with the dangers of plastic pollution in our oceans.
I wanted to create an illustration that was almost like a narrative of the article. And instead of having it in a box, I wanted the illustration to merge into the article giving a sense of the vastness of the oceans.
The article can be read here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/26/opinion/choking-the-oceans-with-plastic.html
The final illustration
Medium: Watercolour and Pen.
The illustration with the final layout.
