Client: Through Peace / Esther Lim

Prompt: Create cover art and internal lettering, illustrations, and title pages for a booklet regarding race & bias education that will be distributed within all the schools of the Los Angeles Unified School DIstrict.

I was given the prompt and since it was for teens, I wanted to span all ages as well as different ethnicities, disability, discovery, and friendship within the illustrations. Each vignette is purposeful in showing relationships and creating belonging. I didn’t want to add facial features and create bias through them, rather I left the figures open for interpretation for students to imagine themselves as one of these characters.
