Editorial Illustration Silicon Valley Suicides Cover

This is a 8.5" x 11" 2 page cover spread, previewing the rest of the article, pulling the reader into the story. The content was provided by the professor, and there was no requirement as to how much of the text was to be on the first page. The article discusses a very dark topic of an epidemic of suicides of young teens in the Silicon Valley area. The article touches on the railroad tracks that run through the town that many kids pass on the way to school as one of the ways these high school students have used as a means to end their lives. The article mainly discusses the intense standards of schools today and the effect it is having on kids. Title was hand lettered to pair with the illustration that runs across most of the spread.
