New Yorker Cover Thumbnails – SC

October 12, 2023 / Sebastian Chapman / 0 Comments

How does the theme you chose to illustrate reflect the type of work you want to do in the future?

I chose themes that were very native and unique to New York. These is not a topic that I draw from often, but I am looking at it though my style-lens and using my imagination to create whimsical options, but I also like to add a more graphic option and a “straight-forward” option as well. This reflects my future work as an Art Director and Illustrator because I am able to conceive many ideas with different styles in mind. I like for my thumbnails to always be very different from one another because it’s like casting a broader net, so there is a higher success rate for the best idea to come through.

Halloween is a holiday that holds a special place in my heart. It’s a time when we can showcase our creativity and decorate without constraints. As someone who loves to express my artistic side, I’ve always been keen on utilizing my illustration skills to design unique Halloween decorations and seasonal greeting cards.

Article & Sketches For Project De La Cruz, T.

Article Title: “Refugee and Migrant Crisis

Resource: OXFAM International

Link: https://www.oxfam.org/en/what-we-do/issues/refugee-and-migrant-crisis

Why did you choose this article?

I chose this article because it discussed the issue that has always been a heavily argued subject around the U.S., the migrant crisis. As an immigrant, I can relate to the situation of having to flee your homes in order to protect your family or in fear of losing your life. I want to discuss a subject that is current, relatable, and can use as much support as it can get.

What is the market for your illustration? Is it intended to reach?

The market for my illustrations are immigrants, refugees, and any other person in the U.S. who are seeking information on the current crisis that is taking place all around the world. The ideal median to place my work will be in an editorial magazine that supports asylum seeking and immigration.

How does the illustration you intend to create fit the market you want to reach?

My illustrations are meant to invoke emotion through shapes, signs, and symbols that can be understood by anyone in the world while also suggesting a need for change.

Explain your thinking process for your thumbnails.

My thinking process for my thumbnails started with a brainstorming of words related to my subject, “Immigration Crisis and Asylum Seekers”, but still required necessary research to inform myself on the subject. After reading the article of my choosing, it was clear the position I would take would require me to discuss heavy topics. Therefore, I decided to use strategies such as repetition and the rule of thirds to address my subject’s point.
