JHenderson Proj. 5: Editorial Imagery

I'm between two articles right now and although I think I know which one I am going to choose, I've decided to post both. The first one is going to be a political article showing a few main points the Republican candidates for president have decided to focus on recently. For example, Rick Perry's recent joining of a religious movement called the New Apostolic Reformation in order to get the vote of Christians who fear a Mormon president. To show this I would maybe put a sash around Perry saying "not a Mormon".



Now for the article that I am leaning towards,



On one of Jupiter's younger moons, Europa, they have found a lake encased inside its outer layer of ice. This means that there is liquid, moving water underneath, which means that there is a potential for life. The lake has formed from the deep ocean inside Europa pushing outwards and shifting/melting the icy surface. They have also found some brown-colored icebergs whose composition scientists are not entirely sure consist of. I wanted to make a lighthearted image of an alien swinging into Europa's lake with Jupiter lighting the scene in the background. I could include some icebergs with brown overlays. My illustrations would most likely be the alien. I'm planing on making the alien a silhouette with only a hint of body to give it dimensionality. Its the photo that I am having a hard time coming up with. I could take a photo of a lake or maybe the swing, still not too sure.






Here are my thumbs:
