My latest com­mis­sion was illus­trat­ing an art­icle about tak­ing your car abroad. This is an art­icle for 'Mot­ab­il­ity Life­style', the motor­ing magazine for the dis­abled.

Driv­ing on for­eign roads is tough enough for the able bodied.Yet anoth­er reas­on to be very thank­ful.

The cli­ent asked for full col­our art­work, which is great, I like work­ing in col­our. But then I thought I'd take a look at a black and white ver­sion of the illus­tra­tions. I don't know about you but I think they look pretty darn good. Moody, atmo­spher­ic if you like. Just like the good old black and white movies back in the day and some­times used today with great effect. 'The Artist' a great example.

I really would appre­ci­ate your thoughts on this. Which do you prefer? Black and White? or Col­our?

I know we all like col­our com­mis­sions but which do you prefer in this edit­or­i­al, col­our or black and white?
