For this project we were required to compose an editorial illustration based on an article that we chose. The article that my project was based on, was about the sub-culture of hipsters, called Lame Dude.
The article discusses the characteristics of the culture and the negative aspects of the hipsters. My illustration was based on how being a hipster has become such a fashion statement. Everyone wants to be a hipster. In a random discussion about my editorial an aardvark came up - Which lterally means that EVERYONE wants to be a hipster.My idea was very arbitrary which goes with the style of the magazine that I chose (One Small Seed) and my illustrations were fun and playfull.I drew an aardvark dressed as a hipster, which shows that everyone wants to be a hipster. The quote within the text that also influenced my illustration was ““As Soon as people enjoy the thing a hipster enjoys, the hipster drops it.” I drew the aardvark hipster being held by a rope above a mote of crocodiles, this literally translated the pull quote into an illustration. The last page illustration is a crocodile with the hipsters leg sticking out , which means that the hipster didnt have a happy ending.. There is also a scull which is wearing hipster glasses, which just adds a touch of danger.
