Challenge 15: 2011 Grad Article

Hi all!

I decided to do an illustration for an article, because my portfolio is lacking a bit of concept right now. Pretty much immediately after sitting down to think of ideas, I remembered an article I’d seen someone post on Facebook.   The New York Times interviewed a good portion of the class of 2011 at Drew University (and then did research about the rest of us). It’s overwhelming how many 2011 grads are either still unemployed, or not working in a job related to their degree. It definitely hit home for me, because I’ve been doing pretty random stuff since school, and it’s been hard to swallow at times.  Sometimes I truly do feel like the graduate in my illustration— “Can anyone hear me?”
