The theme for project 4 was the most challenging to portray through an illustration. I was tasked with representing financial literacy, a topic with which I was not familiar. I had to embark on an extensive research journey to fully comprehend the concept, which took much longer than anticipated due to the varying perspectives on the term. Eventually, after gaining a comprehensive understanding of the different aspects of financial literacy, I was able to form a clear vision for my illustration.
As I began working on the illustration in Adobe Illustrator, I focused on creating a simple and easily recognizable project. The central element of the illustration was a large brain character with eyes, glasses, and a mouth, symbolizing new minds learning about the subject. Additionally, I incorporated a book with the topic title to emphasize its significance, and I opted for a psychedelic-style background to add a dramatic effect.
