Editorial Notes: Ed. 10 Research Part 2

Looking for yet more inspiration, and what exactly a New Scientist cover is like, I've found some images. Of course there are loads but these are bascically the ones I find most appealing and relevant so they are a good place to start.



These two above directly link to the being about the brain. I have to admit that neither of these images particularly appeal to me as an artwork on their own, but they do their job effectively as their conveyed message is easy to understand.



With the image on the left I love the detailed pattern. Whilst that image might not directly link to thinking about the brain, I find it so captivating I just had to include it for inspiration purposes. Likewise, on the right, we see an image not directly about the brain, but of dreams. One of my initial brainstorm ideas was to look at dreams and dreamy landscapes. Again, I find this image very captivating and I am tempted to revisit that idea of dreams.




Both of these images have approached the illustration in an X-ray type of way. The colour palette is very striking. The figure on the left cover is beautiful isn't she? The multitude of busy lines I find so full of expression. The image on the right, on the other hand, I find a little dull to be honest. These images are giving me ideas, in particular the strong but limited colour palette.
