about the project
The Lamp is Delta Zeta Sorority’s quarterly magazine distributed to its members. For this issue, the feature story was about one of its members who survived a Japanese Internment Camp in WWII. The few reference photos available were not high resolution enough to be a cover photo, so illustration provided a desirable alternative.
In collaboration with Tria Designs

Illustration offers a work-around in the absence of high-res photography.

Mockup given by Tria Designs to provide some art direction.
The first step in the process is presenting a rough sketch that gives an idea of composition and color scheme.

first draft

The next step is illustrating a more detailed version. After receiving feedback that this one felt too heavy, I removed some crosshatching and lightened some colors.
