Final Editorial Illustration – Sal Mindiashvili

My concept for this project was online dating during the Covid-19 pandemic. After reading articles on this topic, I quickly realized that although we are all scared of this virus and prefer to quarantine most of the time, the need for social interaction and in this case, romantic, is still there, stronger than ever. Most of all online dating websites reported the highest activity in their history during the first few months of the quarantine. Although this can be simply explained by the boredom that people were experiencing while staying home, the absence of close human connections that is still relevant today makes me wonder what kind of psychological effects it might have on adults in general.

I decided to depict a romance in the digital world by showing box of chocolates and roses in a downloadable, digital form. I believe that this provides that metaphorical paradox where the symbols of romance & dating that are supposed to be in physical form are now presented fully digital.

Final Project, Part 2

NARRATIVE ILLUSTRATION

Due Week 15

_____________________________________

Overall Description:

Create an interior illustration or a book cover for your story reboot. Choose a dramatic moment in time that captures the mood, genre and character of your story.

  • Final Art can be made using any combination of traditional drawing / inking skills and digital coloring.
  • Final art must make full use of value and read as a finalized piece of art work.
  •  Final art may be in Color or in Black and white.  If in color a limited palate is highly recommended.

Create 2-3 concept sketches for narrative illustrations featuring the same character(s) in different moments in time from your story. Be sure the settings and situations are different. Use the characters you created for Part 1.

These illustrations by “golden age” illustrator Arthur Rackham are a great example of this. Here his version of Alice is depicted at various moments in the story and from different points of view.

NEXT: Incorporating feedback from your instructor and peers, finalize one of the sketches into a final illustration. This can be an interior illustration or a book cover.
