Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Money, money, money. CEOs make too much and companies keep too much. So what happens when a CEO can influence a potential merger & acquisition? That's what we visualize in this layout where I created iconography fashioned out of different stock art to make a background reminiscent of a stock certificate coupled with a headline in a handwritten typeface signaling not all is on the up and up. For the opening illustration, we wanted that same bad-boy feel in the execution even though the composition should follow a corporate setting. Working with illustrator PJ Loughram gave us that perfect mix. His frenetic line style and textured coloring really brought out the idea of a CEO manipulating sides to serve his own end giving us a Lucifer-type character.
