Why did you make this work:
This fundraising campaign calls attention to the endangered species currently residing at Chicago Zoo. The campaign is named "The Price of Extinction" because the price of each pass parallels the estimated cost to save each specific species. So, the higher the price, the higher the risk of extinction. The proceeds from the campaign went towards the excellent conservation work conducted by the Zoo.

How was the illustration used:
Aside from the limited-edition collection of entry passes the illustrations were created for, the designs were used on a variety of supports such as billboards, flyers, posters and an online campaign.

How did you make this work:
Starting from pencil and paper, I then developed the final illustrations with Adobe Illustrator and Procreate. I was lucky enough to be involved right from the start, so I actively participated in developing the brief and the design of the tickets. The entry passes are designed to show both the problem (what's threatening the animals) and the solution using a die-cut shape.
