7 Deadly Sin/ "So, Tell Me What I Want To Hear"

The Seven Deadly Sins

Size: determined by artist

Black & White

In any style, create a black and white image depicting the sin you have selected. Use this as a chance to “introduce” yourself to me, whether it’s through high contrast, graphic shapes or subtly painted values and tones. Your final should be well-crafted and have a strong concept (we should be able to tell what it is when on the wall).

Final Due: Sept 14th

Editorial: “So, Tell Me What I Want To Hear”

Size: must reprint as a 5”x6” image (final has to be the same ratio)

Full Color

Writer Cecil Donahue manages to take a dry subject (the job interview) and create a fresh article full of whit, sarcasm, and interesting imagery (“corporate kabuki” is full of illustration potential!). This was originally printed in Gentleman’s Quarterly (known as simply GQ), a men’s magazine attracting young men along with older readers. Your goal is to create an equally fresh and engaging image to go along with the text.

Editorial Illustration is full of many styles and approaches, from silkscreen inspired images to sleek, fashionable interpretations. Create something that is in tune with the article as well as your artistic vision.

Sketches Due: please email 2-3 high quality sketches to me by 5:00 p.m. on Sept 7
