YOU ARE NOT YOUR JOB.
​
Editorial illustration for the Farhad Manjoo’s “You are not your job” article for The New York Times. Academic assignment for the Illustration for press and magazines’ module within LABASAD’s MA on Publicity and Editorial Illustration.

After experimenting with sequential images during the Visual Narratives module, I felt extremely attracted to the idea of telling a full story with all of its stages contained in just one image. I tried other sketches during the research phase, but they were a bit too harsh and maybe too depressing to accompany the article: I wanted it to be about hope and personal worth.
The initial ideas were inspired by my own frustration of years working in offices, so I tried to turn it around and use this opportunity to show that we are, in fact, much more than just our jobs.
