These are my thumbnail sketches/initial ideas for the editorial project.
These are my two rough sketches, and final sketch idea. The final sketch has to do with the idea of "the game being rigged", which was said during the panel discussion.

There is pretty much nothing wrong with this sketch aesthetically; it's nicely rendered and I can see it becoming a visually engaging illustration. However, to be perfectly honest, the Monopoly game allusion is something of a cliché. The simple way to solve this issue is to just remove the Monopoly-esque house in the upper left so the game loses it's specificity. I like that the whistleblower is Uncle Sam, but the details may feel a bit cluttered once that house is gone (since it's currently the biggest "object" on the board). Play around with the proportions of your elements to combat this.
