I got a chance to finally work with Elizabeth at the Nashville Scene. She gave me a tricky article about whether or not charter schools were going to be good for the city of Nashville or not. She proposed the idea of a teacher writing out “The Charters Are Coming” over and over like she’s in detention and the students are monitoring her.
Like always, I try to thrown in my best alternatives ideas to see what works…
Some of my ideas included a student heading into school with different schools on each of the corners and across the street, stressing there are to many popping up. The second one about how diverse the range of schools are by uniform, as they get on a city bus. The third being the sketch for the final and forth showing to many classes going on at once.
It’s not to often that I am handed a solution that I really like the outcome. Also, I am starting to see a trend in these last two months of hand lettering seeping into my editorial work which is something that I’ve been wanting to see go hand and hand for a while.
