For a year-long period, the Illinois Policy Institute collected stories from Illinois residents struggling with unfair government regulations, cronyism, and heavy taxes. They asked me to help them publish these stories in a book. Using their portraits, I illustrated torn paper collage-style images to visualize these people's stressful reality. In addition to the imagery, I was also responsible for designing the book's structure, typography, and layout.
