War On Regulation

This article was published last june 1 and was posted as one of the Best Pages of the Week in the paper. even before i finished this illustration, the idea i came up for the story already made me proud of myself. it is important that i come up with something really simple yet hit the topic big time.

the article is still related with the recession and the euro hullaballo. it's always safe to take thing literally yet produce it in a symbolic way. Srimani, the designer of the page came up with the idea on running the text inside the helmet and the smoke that came out from the gun. it was just perfect. the day before this was published, my design director told us that this will be the best page for paper the next day. oh well i just blushed! :D

added some texture to polish the look.

Double Dip Recession

 

It's always amazing how much i learn from all these articles i am working on. Double dip recession in something new to me,i had to search in Google the meaning of the phrase. Sometimes all these business terms are just too alien for me. 

When gross domestic product (GDP) growth slides back to negative after a quarter or two of positive growth. A double-dip recession refers to a recession followed by a short-lived recovery, followed by another recession.

To illustrate the article, i took the title literally and i gues it worked! this page made it to the office' Best Page of The Week! yey! :)
