Private Eye

I'm going to keep this short and sweet, straight to the point. As previously discussed, I showed an interest in the political magazine, Private Eye. So funnily enough, I bought a few copies to have a flick through and get a few ideas of what's in the current editions and their relation to current affairs.

I bought the most recent edition, as well as a few editions from previous years to show how they keep up to date with the political affairs at that time. 

Obviously, as a student interested in illustration, my eyes are immediately drawn to the comical drawings. I picked out a few from all 4 magazines to give an idea of what they're about and the style in which they're drawn.

I won't lie and pretend I understand whats going on in all these illustrations because I don't, regardless of me reading the entries, my brain doesn't seem to process such intellectual information! (To my dismay)

I do however understand this one. I like the almost sarcastic and hypocritical humour it tries to portray. 

I guess this shows a play on words? Either way I like the comical stages.

This is kind of straight to the point in describing the illustrators opinions of the modern day Premiership footballer. Which I won't shy in agreeing with.

Summed up, in a sentence and a picture, the extortionate prices of gas and electricity.

Clearly making a joke out of Pippa Middleton's maximised asset at the Royal Wedding.

NEXT STEP!

have a think of the current political issues and create doodles from these...

Just to add the doodles in a bit!
