Elefint - ACLU illustrations

I worked with a cool SF based design company called Elefint. They are the design team leading a project for the northern California ACLU with John Legend called "Meet your DA (District Attorney)". This project aligns well with my values, Elefint's, and the ACLU's because it uses design and illustration to make sense of the justice system and how to fight for young peoples rights. Specifically the rights of young people of color who are the most caught up in it.WATCH THIS VIDEO!

Here is a link to their final design briefs and to the project website

Check out some of the illustrations
