Mentor Eric Wilkerson on the assignment: "Our first project in Advanced Digital Illustration is an open-ended assignment dealing with war. The brief entitled “Confessions of a ____ War Veteran” leaves it up to the student to fill in the blank and create a unique narrative illustration by deciding what type of war veteran the main character is. Some students chose a contemporary theme with social commentary while others explored fantasy, horror or sci-fi motifs. It is a great way for me to gauge where the student is at in their understanding of how to compose a narrative illustration. Here are two different results from the same project done by students Ismar Suchov and Numa Rocchietta."
