Brief:

Develop the cover illustration the Dublin InQuirer about inadequacies in late night bus service in Dublin, leading to many women walking home alone through deserted streets.

Solution:

When thinking about this illustration, I chose to focus on the emotion that a woman would feel walking alone at night due to a lack of reliable bus service. I convey this through her facial expression, as well through negative space in the shape of a bus, then filled in with the details of an empty alleyway. My intention is to communicate the relationship between a lack of bus service, and the need for women to walk home alone through deserted streets, as mentioned in the brief. This has resulted in a beautiful and on-topic cover piece to rouse reader interest and increase conversion to the Dublin InQuirer.
