FLORIDA SHARK ATTACKS, for Reader’s Digest

A double-page spread, and two spot illustrations for Reader’s Digest Magazine, for an article covering the story of the rise in shark attacks, along the coast of Florida, in 2024. 

Brief:

“Opener with the bull shark moving through the water (ominous, menacing), around the legs of swimmers.

Interior #1 could illustrate the beautiful day, sunbathers on towels, beach tents, people in the water, bodysurfers, the yellow/purple flags, a sandbar, and the shadow of bull sharks on their path toward people.

Interior #2 could show the boardwalk landscape, and victim at a distance on a stretcher being carried by emergency first responders.”

Shown are some roughs from the pitch stage, and the final print spreads, with type and layout designed by the Reader’s Digest team.
