Knight Media Project

Knight Media Center teaches and equips the next generation of journalists in all areas of media. TV, Radio, Internet, Newspaper, Periodicals etc. The 'Freedom of Speech' illustration below is 1 of 4 illustrations I did for a collateral piece being produced. The pattern shown below will be used on the inside front and back cover as a tonal pattern. The front will use an 'Old Media' theme and the back will use a 'New Media' theme.

This project had a tight turn around. Basically I had two days to complete 4 illustrations and 2 patterns. All the while getting ready to re-locate my studio and tie up all loose ends. It's been a bit nuts lately.


FREEDOM OF SPEECH
I have to admit I must have drawn the talons about 5 or 6 different ways. None of them looked right even when I double checked with photo reference I had. I settled on this approach because my good buddy Paul Howalt told me this is how they should be. So if you don't like them, then blame it on Paul it's his fault! :-P



MEDIA PATTERN
Creating these made me realize how far news reporting has come. Letter press to RSS.
