Now i'm in my final year in university, that means the big Final Major Project, Degree Show and graduation. Anyway, this is the first project this year, it's simple two weeks, same thing as last year for 2nd year and final year putting together for this project, of course, it's an editorial, this time it's called The Wisdom of Crowds. I get that thoughts of will this article be a difficult for me to understand, will my illustration looks good, will i get some more concepts from last year? To my surprise, my lecturers came over to me and mentioned that i can do moving image in this editorial project if i want to (to remind you, they know my work and how good my moving images are and they loves it), so i went for it. When i read through the article, yet again, find it difficult to get some illustrate concepts from these words. However i picked some small sentences from simple words such as " being perforated by “black holes” " which i was thinking to use...

Now that i'm in second year in this university, feel like i'm half-way through to graduate. So this is the editorial project, we were put in group with the 3rd year, as we are looking at how 3rd year do with the illustrations, i'll be in 3rd year next year, just getting some ideas.  We were given to read the editorial article called In Each Other's Shadow, i find it difficult to understand what was really going on and working out to make illustrate. So far, i sketched some ideas, mostly to combine a person and nature. I actually did three attempts to makes it consummate, the 3rd illustration works better. 1st attempt 2nd attempt 3rd attempt I can't see myself doing the editorial illustration as a job in the future, unless if there are any editorial/articles have the nature-related really.
