The Brief
Create a consistent design language for illustrations that head the new Vice Editorial section articles. Create 3 sample article editorial illustrations, one animated, which will define the future news graphics.
I pitched three directions for the article A Dangerous, Odd, and Unconstitutional Texas Law about the Texas heartbeat bill, or S.B. 8. This bill limits abortions in Texas after 6 weeks and additionally encourages people to report each other for thinking about, intending to, or helping a woman get an abortion in any capacity.
The feelings I tried to convey were confusion, being trapped, and paranoia. The second design direction called The Main Point was selected to move forward with. My design elements going forward were a bold graphic, an illustrative element, type, and a limited color palette of black, white, and one or two hero colors.
