This is my final editorial illustration. I left a bit more space on the top so that the title of the Magazine/editorial wouldn’t really get in the way of the illustration. My subject is mental health of the new generation ( specifically young adults) and this concept is a shelve of masks with certain emotions (the masks are to supposed to be reminiscent of emojis to represent the digital age) as a young person picks a mask to wear before going on about their day . The meaning and purpose of this concept is that someone’s state of mental health as well as mental health does not have a definitive face and you never know what’s going on with somebody , which is why there shouldn’t be a stigma about speaking up as well as give the incentive to check on the people we care about. I left the person as a silhouette to give an anonymous feeling to show that this person wearing a mask to get through the day can be any one of us and that the decline of mental health of someone can often cause them to turn into a shadow of themselves. I decided to do a monochromatic blue violette color palette due to the fact that struggling with something like depression and putting on a different face all the time can often have us feeling various shades of blue.

My concept for this final illustration is the awareness of the family work dilemma and visualizing the conflict between two paths reflecting your presence. I decided to go for the triple mirror view concept because this illustration defines a problem that viewers need to be aware of, especially for those women and/or men who are considering to become parents with a decent job or the opposite. The problem in this illustration demonstrates a young teenage girl looking at herself in the mirror, but looking at the two angles (left & right) she sees her potential future-self in the mirrors, one side is her dressed in an office suite, working in a big business. The other side posses a different vision, she’s married, housewife, parent, etc. In reality, those parents who work long-hour jobs have a hard time managing their time to take care of their child and staying active toward their career/ job. The main character is looking at herself in the mirror and sees two instinctive visions of herself, the question is, ‘what will you chose and what will you lose?’ The answer doesn’t need to be solved from that question, the answer will depend on how the viewers interpreted it.
