For my illustrator project, I found a magazine cover of Mark Spitz, a former Olympic world record holder. This summer in the 2008 games, Michael Phelps was able to beat Spitz's record for the number of medals won. For my project I made several slight changes. The first obvious change is the picture. The minor changes I made were the date of the magazine, the price, and the year issued. The original had a head line about the the economy in 1972, so for my issue I wrote "Soaring Gasoline Prices". This summer gas prices were a heated issue, and there were a ton of magazine and newspaper headlines centering around the problem.
