Exercise#2 – Editorial illustration

I am being asked to produce an editorial illustration imagining that I have been commissioned by paper to create an artwork as a visual interpretation of one of the headings below:

How green is your food?
The best restaurant in town
Loves me, loves me not
Throwing your money away
The object of my desire
Finding your family history
An interview with Melvin Bragg
Paris, still the best place on earth

 

List of words that describe my illustration:

budget
save
wasting
drop
cash
spending

 

I wanted to create visual metaphor since this is type of illustration I related to most and I wanted to try to create my own.
