So, there was some speculation about whether there would be illustrations for criticism in this forum, so I figured, I'd upload this and see what happens (moderators, move at your discretion).

This is mostly a personal project, it comes from a local publication, and I thought I'd try and make a picture based on what I would do if I were illustrating this particular article.

It deals with Angus King, former governor of Maine, who is now running for the Senate seat being vacated by Olympia Snowe. The gist of the article is that King likes to portray himself as a folksy, eco-oriented progressive business type, but is really just a run-of-the-mill businessman who has the usual weakness for "big ideas," that often end up as washouts, but has consistently landed him on the boards of many ventures and garnered him quite a bit of personal wealth. His latest venture is in a company trying to bring wind power farms to Maine. I don't expect anyone will want to read the full article, but here it is anyway.

So, this is a sort of portfolio "how I wudda dun it" piece. I'm curious how traditional design crit will translate, so, feel free, I'm open to how this might be done better.

It was originally meant to have a caption: "No, Sancho, it is a giant; a big, friendly, profitable giant who will bring jobs and economic prosperity to the people of Maine." But I thought that might be too laborious.
