Illustration | Front Cover of Enjoy.Ohio.com Magazine

Our final project in my illustration class was to create an illustration for the cover of the July edition of Enjoy Magazine, housed in the Akron Beacon journal. Then, a representative from the Akron Beacon Journal picked a finalist from a pool of my classmates’ submitted works. July’s edition was themed “Music in the Park” and my illustration was picked for the cover of the magazine.

My illustration was successful because of it’s use of bold colors, simple main subject, and a modern, yet whimsical approach to a design of an everyday object; the guitar.
