Online privacy blues


"Facebook user of three years Annemarie Kinney, 18, of Johnsburg, says that online privacy is important to her and blocks her profile from view from people whom she hasn't given approval." Photo illustration by Justin Edmonds, Northwest Herald

Just wanted to post another image from my first week at the Northwest Herald. This image earned me my second A1 in a row in only my first week. I had 9 A1 centerpieces at The Gazette. Most of the time it's luck when you get A1 because of all the variables involved and this was no different because anyone could have shot this assignment but I just so happened to get it. The story discusses what people should do to retain their privacy in online social networking sites suck as facebook, myspace, ect. 

I haven't done too many illustrations so it's always a learning process but I was pleased with this one considering what I had to work with. I tried a few different things with a pair of sunglasses but this is what we ended up going with for the main art. I used a digital projector to get the logo/color on her face. 

The weather has finally warmed up a but....if you consider 23 degrees a warm front. I hope to make it down to the city for sushi with a friend from college tomorrow so hopefully I'll have something interesting to post within the next day or two.
