Coat of Arms contacted me to help them create an intro title/sponsor sequence for the 34th edition of Chicago's based Reeling Film Festival. 

Our challenge was to represent the diverse array of individuals who may identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or asexual, allies and advocates. Each within the LGBTQ+ acronym. 

Working together with the illustrator Amy Schmitt in the Art Direction, we got to create colourful and abstract worlds to all the different characters. 

Down here you can see some of my explorations:
