Applied Illustration | Initial Research

Since I have chosen editorial as my industry area for this project, I need to look into what type of work exists, as well as where it exists, and how this could inform what I could create for myself.

• Consider the TONE I want to convey

• Can be feature type of editorial, as well as focusing on a news issue or theme.

• Link many different things to each other, e.g.
Article -> Documentary -> Book -> Podcast -> Famous Person

CONTEXTS

- Series of editorial illustrations
- Magazine/newspaper spread
- Spot illustrations/full page

- Advertisements (public spaces, transport)
