Illustrated Drop Caps
This article for Travel and Leisure magazine was an assignment from Parsons, but one I proudly include in my portfolio because of the detailed and beautiful (If I do say so myself) drop cap illustrations I created to go alongside the editorial layout. The following page on my website features the drop caps as a primary focus, but if you’d like to learn more about this project, please visit its corresponding page in my Layout & Typography section here.
In context: the first page of the India article featuring the drop cap at the top left. All of the colors in the drop cap illustration are taken from the photograph.
In context: The drop cap floats among elements in the second spread of the article, again with colors all coming from the image.
In context: the capital L leading the eye to the first line of the article, with the internal colors reflecting the multicolor lights in the image.
