In-Class Assignment: Editorial Illustration

I was given an article in class to read and begin
executing a one page illustration to pair with it.

My article was about ads that follow you.
While reading the article I highlighted certain
words or phrases that were repeated or stood
out to me. Three that I underlined were:
"spooky", "very invasive", and "creepy".

I began to think about the angle that when
companies target and re-target you, essentially
by using cookies, it can be incredibly creepy!


I illustrated a particularly weary man at his computer
with a ghostly figure lurking in the darkness behind him.
I made the parallel between ads that follow you and
ghosts. They both follow you, they're both creepy,
and both very invasive.

Bewaaaare the Metlife ghost!
