This is the second exercise in part one of the course. It involves choosing an editorial piece to illustrate, reading it, highlighting key wwords and/or phrases then extracting those words/phrases and reconstructing as a concept for an illustration.
I chose a piece in the Guardian online about WikiLeaks. Here is my highlighted version of the text: Julian Assange’s internet cut by Ecuadorian embassy
I guess the relevant keywords are:
- Ecuador
- Julian Assange
- temporarily cut internet
- U.S. presidential election
- leaked emails
So I constructed the sentence:
I am going to create an image about the Ecuadorian government cutting internet access to Julian Assange who has assylum in their London embassy, to prevent leaked emails from interfering in the U.S. presidential election.
