In 2019, millions of Americans were going to be cut off from SNAPS (food stamps). 

​

My process involved combining the imagery of food and money to visualize food insecurity in the United States. I tried numerous iterations (stacks of carrots, chocolate coins, pennies, pancakes) and different formations for croissants (rice, receipts).

 

I chose to keep the main visual of the money croissant represented in different mediums—photography and illustrations—because I believe that the message comes through in a more impactful way over the other iterations. The imagery of a croissant is unexpected but represents food scarcity. The second visual is of a helping hand fork which advocates for helping those who are hungry.
