Although I wasn't originally scheduled to design for this issue, I'm really glad I had the opportunity to try my hand at yet another illustration. I found this story particularly difficult to represent visually because of the subject matter. The story is about college students being incorporated into the Nielsen ratings. I'm relatively happy with the way the illustration turned out, although I wish I would have played with some more complex treatments for the image. The problem with being too complex though was that Nielsen ratings in themselves are rather difficult to represent visually. So I iked my color choices, but I think the heads on the couch could have been spruced up a bit. I guess it just looks a little elementary. In my next illustration I'd like to experiment a little bit more with a more unique style.
As far as page layout goes, however, I like the use of the cutout to add visual interest and I think the page flows really well with the sidebar not breaking up the text.
