Editorial Thumbnails

For my thumbnails, I looked specifically into tigers and how I can portray poaching and/or animal extinction through a cover for a magazine. I started with looking into a large variety of different reference photos for tigers, as to get an idea of Tiger anatomy and get composition ideas. 

I also briefly looked at other endangered animals, alike elephants and rhinos, although I decided quickly I wanted to stick with Tigers. I am happy I tried different animals, just in case I decided to try different things.

Out of all of my thumbnails, I have highlighted the ones I feel I will consider taking forward to develop. I particularly like the one with the stripes dripping off onto the podium and the one on the top left (bottom page), with the tiger skull. I think they are both very eye catching, especially the dripping stripes sketch. 

I made sure to make a list of ideas for the dripping sketch, for development. Whilst I don't think I will try all of the ideas I came up with, I have a good starting point. I am specifically interested in the colour draining with the drips idea, the stripes becoming destroyed trees idea, and the idea of trees being involved as a whole.

After looking through all of my thumbnails, I have come to the conclusion that I am unconsciously more focused on the causes of the Tiger's extinction then Poaching in particular, so I am going to review my proposition some and potentially broaden my ideas.
