Long story told short, earlier this year I was assigned to make 8 editorial illustrations for Morningstar Advisor (print & web) magazine, which provides investment insights for financial advisors, Dec-Jan issue (http://tinyurl.com/cx6fwhc , and you can see full issue at e-version of the magazine here http://tinyurl.com/cj445wh). Brief included:

1. Front cover (Spotlight: Funds of Funds),
2. Sector Rap ("Risks Loom Over Telecom Industry") p.30-31,
3. Spotlight Splash page p.34-35 (continuation of the front cover; answers what Funds of Funds is all about),
4. Decorative Banner p.36-37,
5. Morningstar Conversation ("How the Landscape for Advisors is Changing") p.48-49,
6. Undiscovered Manager ("Mark Egan Embraces Volatility") p.56-57,
7. Gray Matters I ("Alpha, Beta, and Now Gamma") p.60-61,
8. Gray Matters II ("Performance Gaps") p.64-65,

Special thanks to editorial staff and especially Art Director A.S. for his advises, endless optimism and patience while art directing all of this.
