Newspaper Editorial: Fake bear insurance scam
Overview
A college assigned editorial image for a newspaper article, using many brushes and two programs. The article chosen was about a group of L.A. adults who attempted to use a fake bear costume to commit insurance fraud. We were asked to create an image that was cohesive while having a variety in style between the background and foreground.
Image in use
Background

- Comical bear to signify the absurd situation, as well as draw attention to the difference in species
Foreground
- Thick outline creating high contrast
- Vibrant color contrast to background

- Lack of detail on eyes and claws show how unreal bear is
