Facts vs. Opinions vs. Robots

 

Illustration Style:

Artwork was created digitally using Photoshop. The style of artwork works with this story because it is stark and robotic. Big bold words in banner format highlight concepts. The robots are lively and at times little stars or music notes add a fun background.
