The article I chose is titled Republican Presidential Candidates on the Issues and discusses where candidates Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Utah Gov. John Huntsman, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum stand on issues such as abortion, debt, the economy, education, energy, the environment, gay marriage, health care, immigration, social security, taxes, terrorism, and war. I am not particularly into politics, but I thought this would be a good article because of the amount of options that I would have for the imagery. The article goes over how each of the candidates listed above feel about these issues, whether they support it or are against it, and for some what they have said on the subjects.
I want to illustrate symbols for each of the issues that are discussed in this article. I want the symbols to be distinctly their own, while still complementing each (possibly in color palette). I am also thinking about having the symbols swirl around and start to form an elephant, the symbol for Republicans. I am not sure if I want it to be really structured or more flow-y, but I will see what looks better. I have not decided what I want my original photograph to be yet, but I am thinking along the lines of a sketchpad, notepad, or whiteboard to give the impression that the symbols are exaggerated doodles based on the article.
