Advanced Photoshop Magazine editorial illustration – Case Study

Client

Advanced Photoshop Magazine

Website

The Dutch version of the ‘Advanced Photoshop’ magazine interviewed me about setting up an online portfolio. To make the four-page article more visually appealing, I was asked to make a cover illustration at the same time.

Tools used

Adobe Photoshop

Involvement

Visual Design
Illustration

This illustration shows a plant / flower as a visual metaphor for a successful portfolio that attracts customers (bees). The flowers are screens and the plant grows on an island as a reference to an exceptional portfolio. The forest shows the (overcrowded) market for Freelance Designers. The socket is a reference to digital design.
