An Ode to Insomnia

This article focused on insomnia in an unexpected way. Instead of talking about the health effects or ways to cure it, it was a celebration of it. It evoked the feeling of those 3 AM thoughts, after everyone else has gone to bed. I wanted to portray that feeling in my illustrations and my layout. I found that when I can’t go to sleep, I am constantly reminded of the time slipping by when I should be sleeping and calculating how exhausted I’ll be when my alarm finally sounds. I wanted to find that half asleep half awake area of consciousness and portray that through photographic illustrations. The editorial layout also matched the mood, dripping and drooping into a drowsy and unpredictable baseline.
