WHAT KIND OF THINKER ARE YOU

  • Becca Blake

A speculative magazine cover illustration for issue 3448 of the New Scientist, capturing the essence of the article “What kind of thinker are you,” written by Kate Douglas. Delving into the intricacies of cognition, the article investigates the ‘how’ of thinking rather than the ‘what,’ unveiling that '40 per cent of thoughts don’t fit neatly into one or another category […] people’s experiences seem to unfold on multiple, parallel, simultaneous tracks.’ My illustration represents this narrative through a series of interconnected rooms. Each room depicts a distinct way of thought, whether it’s thinking in abstract shapes or succumbing to internal negativity. - Created using Adobe Illustrator
