Illustrations for Digital Detox

ILLUSTRATION

ILLUSTRATION

Overview

For this project, I illustrated a series of 6 illustrations for an article about digital detoxing. The central message of this article advocates for digital detoxing and using our digital devices as intended, it uses emotions like peace and stress to illustrate its points. The challenge was creating illustrations that would look cohesive together, and yet express vastly different feelings.

Solution

To keep readers' retention I used bright colours and dynamic perspectives for the illustrations. I also made use of a textured, organic brush strokes to contrast with the screen effect created with the halftones.

Results

The series of illustrations created a dynamic reading experience for the reader, expressing a wide range of emotions — from peaceful to tension — all in one cohesive illustration style.
