Illustration project
We had to do an editorial illustration for one of Virginia Tech Research Magazine’s articles, and I chose to cover a piece on “volunteer tourism,” where people do charity work for fun … as in vacations and such.
I was really interested in the other-ing aspect, as well as a part of the article that observed that some tourists are insistent on meeting the people they helped out of a wanting to be thanked. People mean well, though sometimes we can be oblivious to our own motivations.
I wanted to go for a retro 50s vibe. It started out along the lines of atomic age advertising, but I ended up leaning towards Mary Blair’s style, mainly because I had a lot of fun mimicking it.
