I have found this task quite hard due to the somber and pretty depressing content of the articles we are responding to. Whilst I faced some confusion in how to respond to them I realise that becoming an illustrator means illustrating things you might not initially want to, or think you can. With this in mind I tried to produce ideas in the vein of satirical newspaper illustration, as that's how I thought best to express my response to this particular article about air pollution and corruption. Although I think the imagery of the Volkswagen logo works well to enforce my point that Volkswagen has been deceiving the public and causing serious harm to the environment, I also think I may have relied on that idea a bit too much. I still want to do something with the imagery of that logo, as I find that the contrasting appearance of the logo which is often associated with 1960s values of peace and love, with imagery of poison and pollution works well as a representation of the deception behind the story in the article. I don't however want all of my ideas to be based on the logo so I am trying to focus on different areas of the article, such as the political deceit.
