Stephan Schmitz
A Way Out

Editorial

Commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
Cover for the German Magazine "Psychologie Heute". My Task was to symbolize a way out of a depression. Not too dark, showing a glimmer of hope, but not too happy of course. It was important for the editors that the image shows that depression might be something a person never gets rid of but has to learn to live with.

How was the illustration used:
Cover for the Magazine.

How did you make this work:
Photoshop, Cintiq, Paper and Pencil for sketching.
