Illustrators Do Battle In A ‘Versus’ Publication

By John Yong, 22 Oct 2012

As part of its first publication called ‘Vs’, Manchester-based illustration collective Foursight has paired up 20 different illustrators, and ‘forced’ each duo into ‘pen to pen combat’ to compete who can outdraw the other.

Each pair was given word themes—such as ‘brain and brawn’, ‘war and peace’ and ‘high and low’—with each competitor (within the pair) illustrating one half of the binary opposite words.

The resulting publication will feature all 20 illustrations on double-sided tear out pages—with viewers as judges in each of the ten ‘battles’, deciding on which side of page to tear out and display.
