Week 4: Article Illustration Feedback & Revision

Peer Feedback

As I discussed my 2 illustrations to my peers, they gave me some feedback to improve it:

• get rid of the escalator, and maybe put golden bars to represent rich people
• don't use the weight and chains like other people have used
• highlight the shredded paper on the cover using Photoshop

My Thoughts

As I pondered these ideas from my classmates, I was thinking of simplifying this illustration. Instead of using all these images in the collage, I could use a pile of books and have the silhouettes climbing up to represent them going through life, debt, and college. I will definitely sketch some more ideas.

Revised Illustration #3

In this one, I made the ruler slightly thinner so that it wouldn't stand out as much. I've gotten
feedback that the ruler seemed liked the center of attention.
