Unapologetic Illustration Book
/ illustrations based on a specific theme + designed in different styles /
I felt strongly to create a series of self-portraits that described me—a fun tree-hugging afro-centric. Each image has its own statement illustrated with a unique theme, from current issues of police violence to friendly images promoting environmental sustainability. The illustrations go back and forth between black and white and color images to make the booklet more visually interesting. Additionally, each portrait has a different hairstyle to emphasize the cultural variety of Black hair.
