This is a cover illustration for the South China Morning Post Magazine in Hong Kong.
The topic was Hong Kong's preparedness (or lack of it) for the effects of a major earthquake. I needed to come up with an image that showed the potential for destruction rather than the event itself. I chose a flat graphic style to emphasize the calm before the storm. The buildings shown are all Hong Kong landmarks.
The Art Director was Catherine Tai.
