International Youth Day, 2021, no.issue, Created in Procreate and Adobe Photoshop

The brief for this collaboration was to create an illustration to celebrate International Youth Day – a day to empower and encourage youth to create positive change in their communities. So, I set out to create something that would encourage young people to keep taking action and remind them that though they are young, they are mighty. On top of that, the theme of International Youth Day 2021 was Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health, so I included elements such as fruits and veggies, animals, and the sun to represent the challenges we face in food security, biodiversity, and the environment.

The design was featured for three days on their homepage and I was interviewed about the project on their blog, The Wrap. See the blog feature here.
