Final Editorial Image

This was the original sketch i produced for this image - its an amoeba, it took about 3 hours to draw all the dot shading. but it was really worth it in the end. I tried super - emposing this as it was onto the article, but the white looked a little wrong. I then had the idea to edit the channels on photoshop to make the image appear blue. I did this because; A) the blues match with the rest of the page, B) it would give the image an under the microscope sort of look, which really fits the article - which was all about illness and cells and immune system.


This is the final edited image on hard copy of the article. I was really happy with it and it is definately my strongest image. I also think this could easily actually be in the guardian because it almost looks like a photograph.
