Wordpress Plug-Ins

A regular editorial client asked me to design a headline illustration for their article on different types of wordpress plug-ins.

I started with a jigsaw puzzle concept. I liked the metaphor, but I thought it could be updated somehow to feel more futuristic and digital. I settled on a 3-d puzzle with no fixed end shape to show how plug-ins can be added in a variety of combinations with no set "finished" state or specific outcome. Adding light grid structures in the background helped me create the sense of a digital space that I was hoping for.
