Illustration for Hacker Monthly #3
Here's my illustration for the third issue of Hacker Monthly magazine. The article was "How to Become a Millionaire in Three Years" written by Jason L. Baptiste.

After Cheng Soon (the editor) tells me which article to illustrate I read it to understand the core idea, the author's intention and the article's essence. I then send him some drafts with comments to get his feedback. We both liked the line graph idea, and I made a second draft with a 3D one for more visual dynamism.


While working on the final art I found out the 3D line graph wasn't really working, it was too empty for a full page. Using Google Sketchup I made a bar graph as steps and that worked better. The little guy was made bigger. I removed the years labels as the author didn't mean a fixed three-year span. I also removed the money labels, but Cheng Soon asked to have them in.
These are my illustrations and drawings.

The original Retrazos project were experimental drawings based on constraints (size, time, colors, etc.) just to motivate my creativity.
