Designs In The Making

Future Feature Design

I am designing the feature story for the April 5th issue of Vox. The story is about the mall curfew that has recently gone into effect at the Columbia Mall.
I haven't received any text yet, but I've talked with the editor and we definitely want to create a fun illustration.
My idea is to use a silhouette of mall security guards creating a wall preventing teens from getting into the mall.
The editor wants to create an illustration of teens on leashes, like the ones that were popular a few years ago for parents with troublesome toddlers.
I think her idea is pretty funny and gives me a better idea of the focus of the story, however, I'm not sure how I could use this idea for four pages without it being too annoying.
I'm going to start working on the illustration this week, so we'll see how things develop.
