We were all represented by pieces of confetti. This was my piece.
The prompt for this project was to create an event - including the theme, and speakers for the event, and create the marketing and branding for the event.
In order to make the brick texture I created it by hand with a block of concrete, spray paint and a sponge.
This illustration was the centerpiece of my program. The theme was gentrification, and this was meant to show how it can directly impact people - in this case someone not being able to live in the same neighborhood that they work in.
