Jill Calder's Sandwich Generation
[ Posted: Jun 10, 2009 ]
Jill Calder's illustration "Sandwich Generation" was published in the Guardian on the cover of the Work section. Jill worked with art director, Sarah Habershon who said that she liked Jill's sofa idea to depict the "Sandwich Generation" where both aging parents and children have to be cared for - despite the fact that the carer also holds down a full time job.
Jill knew that Sarah didn't want to have an obvious work theme on the Work cover, so she made the illustration as domesticated and family-oriented as possible, yet trying to show the pressure that the carer is under to look after family properly yet still get work done.
