They Know All About You


I made this drawing for an editorial illustration project for the Guardian G2 magazine. We had to select one of three previously-published articles and design a cover for the magazine, as well as two images to accompany the text. Above is my cover design for an article entitled "They Know All About You", which was about how internet search engine enquiries are stored in a giant database, accessible to the public. The cube obviously represents the database, and the tentacle thingys are supposed to be fibre-optic cables (or something), linking every house in the city. I suppose I took the idea of 'invasion of privacy' rather literally. But I'm really pleased with the drawing.
