To improve my motion and illustration skills, I enrolled in this class. The brief required students to design a suite of web illustrations for a speculative client, Atmos magazine. This included one hero image and three spot illustrations.
I distilled the article’s meaning to be about the capitalist view of time which chokes humanity towards climate doom.
After rounds of feedback and inspiration from Batman comic illustrations, I anthropomorphised time as a totalitarian dictator to visually communicate the author’s central idea of paralysis and impending climate collapse.
Despite my initial doubts, seeing an animation bring the article and my illustrations to life was a deeply satisfying outcome.
