Editorial Illustrator - Matt Rota


Boston Globe - setting violent prisoners free

  • His illustrations are very bold and impactful. He uses a lot of reds, though his images are quite detailed and the line work is rather intricate.
  • Though some of his works leans towards realistic imagery. Though he doesn't really use symbolisms nor metaphors. He is rather straight forward with his illustrations. However he explores a lot of space and composition, which is more dynamic and emphasizes the mood. (Boston Globe illustration: adds tension with the play of scale and color) 
  • The combination of pen marks and digital coloring works well and keeps the illustrations contained, clean. Though it is balanced out by the line work and shading. It is quite different in comparison to other editorial illustrations that I have seen, which uses more block colors and minimal.
