Study Task 2 - Editorial illustrators

Mario Wagner uses traditional media methods - paper cut and acrylic for his collages.
He uses anthropomorphised objects for people's faces and anatomy.
His character's faces are often blank which eliminates any emotion and reduces the characters to a very simple, visual tool to communicate his ideas.




Kim Ryu uses similar methods to Wagner with her emotionless characters in order to not over complicate the message.
She uses handmade textures and strong contrasting silhouettes with minimal, subtle drawn marks.
Minimal colour palette.
Simple, bold use of 2D characters and silhouettes on negative space
