Reading Week 8

Read two articles about the editorial illustrators, Ana Juan and Edel Rodriguez. Consider both illustrators’ work, how their stylistic approaches differ, and the medium they use. Do you gravitate toward one style more? Does one illustrator’s work evoke a more emotional reaction from you? Compare and contrast their work and discuss it in your response.
