Planet Earth Directions for Use - Kids Edition
2021
An environmental campaign designed as a comprehensive guide on how to use the planet, the children's edition of the 'Planet Earth - Directions for Use' included a series of illustrations based on four characters, each representing one of the four spheres of planet Earth. I was tasked by Neongreen Network to update my previous character designs of 2009 to a more grown-up, 'superhero' version.
