Assignment: Cover illustration for the lead article about robots taking over human careers.
Challenge: Take a humorous approach to the idea of robots taking over traditionally human careers. While the article gets a bit more technological and futuristic, the editor wanted to see something of a throwback in time as if past careers were already made obsolete by robots. The chosen setting was a small office typing pool.
Results: A truly memorable cover with futuristic robots trapped in a time of muted tones as they check their steno books and bang away at old IBM typewriters. The only thing missing from the desks are small cups of coffee, but that might just have been too silly.
