This illustration by Paul Blow looks relevant based on my topic. In his works he tends to use a candy color palette and in this illustration the colors have a very strong contrast between the yellow and the magenta. In this piece he juxtaposes the smartphone and eyes as if he were saying the smartphones have become our eyes. The earphones also lead me to think the message of this editorial is that we live vicariously through our phones.

This illustration is paired with an article about choices not being made by the user but rather the browser and smartphone and I would assume it has something to do with how easily it is for companies to collect data from all over the internet.
