Editorial Illustration Cover

Overview
The goal of this project was to design a cover for our selected editorial piece. This article discusses the pandemic as well as its impact on Halloween. The main concepts for this piece were ghosts which relates to the holiday as well as experimenting and exploring risograph-based effects/styles.
Brainstorming
Sketches
I started this project off with rough sketches. Halloween is a very common and overdone theme, where as with other projects I come up with unique takes on the topic for this one I embraced the concept rather than tried to diversify it.


In-Progress
After generating the rough sketches I got some feedback and moved forward with the ghost concept. I then made some more refined sketches which can be seen below.


Final Piece
Below is the final version of my editorial cover shown both in use as a hypothetical cover and also as a stand alone image.
