Problem: Use a chosen word (“fall”) and design as many meanings and associations of it.

My Solution: Design a vintage romantic comic novel cover for the phrase “fall in love.”

If you’ve read my triptych commentary, you’ll know I’m always wearing my rose colored glasses. Therefore, I chose to design the phrase “fall in love.” Of course, I also wanted to exercise my illustration muscles, so I decided to design an vintage-aesthetic comic romance novel cover featuring the likenesses of two black icons, Michael B. Jordan and Pam Grier. The little touches, such as the little comic contour lines and thick graphic shadows really were the spicy seasoning that achieved this special sauce.
