Editorial Illustration

A three-piece editorial exercise using the article “Sociology in Fantasia” from reason.com as inspiration. The article was a study of online interactions, more specifically through online roleplaying games. The article spoke to the various ways that users engage with each other online through games like World of Warcraft (WOW). The article spoke to how online gaming and internet interactions can range wildly from spreading hate to finding love. It also discussed how online gaming has evolved to include so many resource gathering processes, such as mining ore, fishing, and crafting, that progressing to the highest levels of some of these games can be akin to a second job. All three images created using Adobe Illustrator.
