Project #1: Editorial Research

My first assignment this quarter is to create an editorial illustration for an existing article using Adobe Illustrator. The first step is to find three possible editorials to work with. I scoured the internet and came up with these three gems:

Our view: Chains should disclose calorie counts

Obesity alone is no reason to remove kids from their homes
