In collaboration with NICK Jr, I created a series of illustrations for two of their Logo IDs. These illustrations were under the themes of “Enlightenment” and “Community”. The target group for this project was black preschoolers. The project aimed to have positive and joyful representation of the black community to both inspire the next generation of black children in America. Projects like these hold a special place in my heart because of what they mean for the community.
