Title: How heat affects the body – inside and out.

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/17/heat-stress-heatstroke-temperatures

I chose this article because I myself suffer heavily from high temperatures from my own body as well as the sun, The side effects are very much proven in my experience and I want to spread awareness for the effects and how they may harm us as people.

The market that my illustration is supposed to reach is that of the everyday person looking to learn more about how the rising temperature of our planet will affect their day to day lives. As people’s attention spans are getting shorter and shorter everyday an illustration that is both eye catching yet whimsically relatable is what is required to not only attract that short attention span but keep it so that they read the article and inform themselves about the many side effects.

The first of nine showcases (Top Left) the sun and a person both steaming with the inside of the person being on fire. The second of nine (Top middle) shows the sun looming over a person who is hunched over and on the floor kneeling while the inside shows a skull and crossbones showing that they are not feeling too well. The third of nine (Top right) shows a close up of a person meanwhile they’re sweating profusely and the inside of them begins to light on fire in a sense shutting down. The fourth of nine (Middle left) is a further back view of the third one basically a continuation. The fifth of nine (Middle) shows a person that has sweat so much that they have started to float in their own sweat. The sixth of nine (Middle right) shows someone hunched over with the sun looming over them lighting them on fire almost like a magnifying glass focusing sunlight onto a stick. The seventh of nine (Bottom left) shows someone laying on their side creating a waterfall of sweat and unfortunately vomit as the effects of high enough temperatures basically lead the human body to purge itself of its food due to nausea and headaches. The eighth of nine (Bottom middle) shows a person stuck in a microwave waiting to meet an unfortunate ending, think hotdog in a microwave. The ninth of nine (Bottom right) shows a person and the planet both having an explosion go off on their head due to the rising temperatures that they’re both experiencing and on second viewing they look like chef hats.
