Purpose: a conceptual cityscape for an article on environmental design. Scene: at midday, normal buildings cast shadows on a paved square that look like soft white clouds rather than dark shapes; people stop and look up. Style: wide architectural photograph with a subtle surreal touch. Lighting: clean, high sun. Details: accurate building geometry. Avoid: signage and logos.
Purpose: a surreal editorial image for a piece on how overwhelming a busy city can feel. Scene: a single person waits at a crosswalk enclosed in a transparent fishbowl; outside its curved glass, cars and pedestrians keep moving. Composition: documentary, at street level. Lighting: rainy evening with reflections. Details: distortion along the edges of the glass; faces are realistic but cannot be identified. Avoid: text.
Purpose: a playful illustration for a handout at a writing workshop. Scene: a cyclist pedals along an enormous sentence that curves across a white page, the letters forming the road and the punctuation marks serving as road markers. Style: clean editorial line drawing with one bright accent color and wide empty margins. Text: no readable words, apart from the single word "DRAFT" in the lower right corner. Nothing else.
Purpose: a conceptual magazine illustration for an article on finding a new direction after changing careers. Subject: a thoughtful face built from crossing contour lines, transit routes and empty areas of a map. One clear path leads toward a sunrise near the edge of the image. Style: refined ink and watercolor, quiet white space. Colors: muted earth tones. Avoid: labels and place names.
Purpose: a conceptual illustration for an article about creative block. Scene: a quiet museum room. Glass display cases hold strange, unfinished objects, for example a sun only half painted, a kite left blank and a door that was never opened. A single visitor sketches close by. Composition: orderly spacing, subtle shadows. Lighting: soft gallery light. Style: textured gouache. Avoid: labels anywhere in the scene.
