Buggy Summer
Thursday, May 15th, 2008
I couldn’t wait! Here is my latest illustration for La Presse in Montreal – the cover of the 2008 Summer Arts section – finished this afternoon. This is kind of a scoop because it is only coming out on Saturday next week. I had sketched out a variety of animals in different contexts based on the editorial direction of «follow the guide». By chance I decided to use the existing ladybug and change the spots from peace symbols to icons representing the different arts. The design team loved the ladybug and with ideas coming from everyone the final concept was developed in a few hours. That’s the way it goes in the newspaper business!
