Exercise: Editorial Illustration

Image
Exercise: Editorial Illustration I started by creating an action plan through Trello. This exercise tasked me firstly to buy a newspaper and analyse the illustrations, I chose to go down a different route, I found a website that follows the work of Maria Fabrizio. https://mymodernmet.com/editorial-illustration-wordless-news/ She produces Editorial Illustrations based on real-world headlines. I thought this would be more focussed and allow some deeper analyses. I saved a few of her illustrations and read briefly through the article that went with it. Her illustrations are super creative and I feel have inspired me a lot more than reading my local newspaper.

When it came down to idea generation I stuck to mind maps and then a spider diagram, for me getting all the ideas down on paper is just the best way, I am a visual thinker but in terms of ideas I find it much easier to write down everything I'm thinking that way I don't miss anything. One thing that kept going round in my mind was the ide

This exercise wanted me to create the illustrations for a leaflet, the leaflet was called What is happening to my body it's all gone mad. I researched into the issue. I thought that with an issue like this that research would be the most important aspect because of how serious it would be to provide information. I used a few websites to gather information. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/coping-with-your-teenager/ https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/16-ways-relieve-stress-anxiety#section5 After the research I thought that it I wanted to go down a different path as I usually do with these exercises. I wanted to focus on the mental health aspect of puberty and how tough it can be when you have changes in hormones. I thought with today's current climate and how everyone is more open about mental health having a resource like this in schools will be so beneficial. I feel like I could go down lots of different paths however I focused on mental health is
