Artist's Comments

My final project in my Adobe Illustrator 1 class. We had to take an article from a recent New Yorker and make a cover for it. I chose an article he talked about in class about medical marijuana dispensaries: [link] . Very interesting, I do recommend it.

The article mentioned Tibetian prayer flags many times. so I included them. It talked about how many of the people were into alternative medicine, helping the environment, yoga, and such. You'll have to read it to find out why there's a statue of Ganesh.

Because of time contraints, I mostly used livetracing. All pictures were found on Google images, edited, then livetraced (meticulously selecting the colors to trace with). I did the black outlines by hand, with the pen and pencil tools. The printed version looked really cool, and my teacher seemed to really like it, so I'm happy! :)

Wow, looks great! I can see you put a lot into this one! Might want to think about the composition a little, the balance is a little centered... It might look a little more dynamic if you switched the Ganesh statue with the pill capsule and marijuana clump. But a lot of New Yorker covers have really centered compositions so I guess it is fitting with the theme hehe.

Isn't it funny when people's signatures are longer than their comments?

It looks really vivid n stuff. It's hard to make anything even relative pleasing with Illustrator's tracing. I end up getting crap.

I'm glad I'm over it now.
