Major 3 - New Scientist

The brief set for this project, was to create a supplemement for the magazine New Scientist. The supplement had to have the headline '10 Scientific Objects that Shaped the World,' and would have to illustrate each scientific object. I approached this project initially by wanting to create illustrations that would reflect how scientist's generate ideas, so began looking a brainstorms and chalkboards but felt these didn't show how each object had changed the world. The next step I took was to move onto collage but returned to idea generation by looking at notebooks and 'doodling.' This allowed me to draw comfortably in a style that suited me more and allowed me to not only draw the actual object, but other little images to show what effect they had on the world.
These are the spreads I created for the supplement:
