Objective:

Design an illustration that describes the article it will represent.

Solution:

The article that the illustration was based off of talks about a young barista who strives to be a writer, but no matter how far he gets, nobody see's him as anything other then what he was. A barista. 

The final illustration was design to represent this through the character typing away on a typewriter, but the only thing that comes out is images of the coffee he served in his past career, instead of the words he wants people to see.
