Intro
During my Final Major Project at University I decided to undertake a project which required creating 1 Editorial Illustration per week until I had a collection of 10. I tasked myself to look through printed publications on online news websites and online versions of magazine publications. Of course Editorial Illustration usually generates responses for political issues, but I also wanted to include illustrations focusing on articles to do with sport, technology and finance whilst keeping a style and opinion throughout each illustration.
