2. Focal Points
Read both articles.
Write a reaction to article 1.
Is there a movie or show you watched recently online or in the theater just because you saw the digital poster rather than someone telling you about it? What was the show or film? Why did the poster draw you in? Speak about the illustration and type design and why you gravitated toward it.
Choose one of the French Dispatch covers that you like and describe what you think the illustrator’s intention and subject matter was? What is the color palette? What is the tone or feeling you sense from the illustration? Does the illustration remind you of anything in NYC or can you find a parallel situation in New York?
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.
