    Can you see the visual metaphor?

    This is my first time (in a couple of years) creating a digital illustration for an editorial. The piece is written by yours truly, and is about whether the JR rail pass is still worth it for foreign travellers in Japan.

    Published on the open-source writing platform, Medium.

    I used the visual metaphor of a seesaw to represent a person thinking or weighing up the pros/cons of purchasing a pass.

    Let me know if you actually think it looks like a JR Pass! I tried to make it as recognisable as possible, yet still keeping within my cartoony style of illustration.

    Check out the article on my Medium profile.
