Finished Editorials
Here are the completed designs for my Burroughs editorials. I ended up using the digital print facilities for the outcomes. I'm happy with the quality of the print outs, the matte paper looks quite professional and the colours really pop. You can also see the slight texture that I applied to the background.
This brief was a relatively stress-free one for me, which is a rare occurrence. I just made a point of not over-thinking things, and making decisions when I had to. Although they aren't perfect, I do think they sit quite well together as a set of images and manage to be consistent aesthetically, and maybe thematically.
The combination of traditional and digital methods was very beneficial, because I think I got the best of both worlds. The pencil lines and scanned paper scraps give it that rough edge, and maintain something 'human' and handmade, whereas the digital methods of their assembly and finishing touches make things appear more put together.

Comments on concepts/messages of illustrations
• Communication of deterioration, addiction. Abstract but still clear
• Wavy, drug induced scenarios - like the person is losing himself
• Humour, like how the looseness of the drawing is kept
Comments on visual language and tone of voice
• Graphic, playful, interesting, clean, dramatic, abstract, consistent, energetic, shakey, irregularity
Comments on visual quality and craft
• Professional print quality
• Professional outcome but still has handmade feel
• Mix of digital and analogue
• Balanced images, pink is exciting, feels collaged / cut-up method
• Inversion of lines is interesting
• Loose line quality, textural
