Illustrating COVID-19
The focus of this original series of illustrations is on simple everyday actions people should take in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast to the severity of the crisis, the style is uplifting, bright, and positive. The objective is to be informative while also elevating the viewer's mood.
Part 1: Illustrating statistics
A series of three large-scale posters to illustrate COVID-19 statistics.

Part 2: Illustrating public message
A few months later, the statistics posters were repurposed as general public service announcements. At that point, the masking was encouraged; so the person and the dog are both wearing masks in the third poster. The illustrations were also adapted to a letter-size format.
