Highrollers: The Culture of Consumer Credit Card Debt

  • Highrollers: The Culture of Consumer Credit Card Debt in America
    Credit Literacy Campaign 
  • Posters to promote Highrollers campaign. April is financial literacy month. To increase public awareness of the need for credit literacy, these posters are to be hung in participating schools, libraries, and other public locations. Both illustrations were produced with my Wacom tablet.
  • The culmination of our senior thesis took the form of an exhibition, open to the public from May 6-13. Each student was provided an exhibit space and shelf. This shelf is upholstered with green felt, to mimic a card table. Posters were mounted on foam core.
  • All research is documented in this book, as well as campaign strategy.
