Editorial Illustrations
Reading can be yawn-inducing for some. And that is where the glorious illustrations come into play — to visually convey the message when words stop making sense. These illustrations for the article "How to be centred in a crazy world" had to keep the readers interested till the last period. The three images use similar colours for consistency and show the three stages of a story — exposition, rising action and denouement. Everything from ideation to execution has been done by yours truly! Keep scrolling as I take you through the meanings behind these illustrations.
I used Scrabble to show the overarching theme in the article: ways to find peace amidst chaos. The player is playing 'tranquil.' They are holding the letter 'I' in their hand because, as per the article, the secret to a chaos-free life lies (spoiler alert) within you.

The last illustration demonstrates the message that you are the secret to living a stress-free life. Therefore, the girl is hugging herself in the mirror.
