Final set of The Guardian pages

This was my chance to fit in type as image into the brief...
I love new york so when I saw the heading 'New York state of mind', I thought it was the perfect example for me to incorporate the two (New york and type as image), so I made the letters out of buildings.

I would actually like to develop this as another brief in the future...and create a whole typeface.

The page is actually quite sophisticated but, although my image isn't the most sophisticated piece - it does fit quite well.

This is for the cover that addressed the Wayne Rooney story where he was going to leave Man U...but he then ended up getting loads more money (reportedly £180,000 a week)

When trawling through pictures of him to base an image on, I found this image where he signifying 'one' - I thought this was the perfect way to incorporate him with the money.

I'm really happy with the end results - I think it could be seen as quite humorous and communicates the message quite well.

There wasn't particularly much 'thinking' behind this one, as the article was about Nicola Roberts from girls aloud so I simply drew her.
The intention of the brief was to develop basic illustrator and it is vectorised so it does work in that aspect.
I am happy with the end result and think it fits quite well on the page.
