Project Summary
Generation Q Youth Center partnered with JOAN Creative and Panic! animation studios to produce a short educational animation to promote laws that protect LGBTQIA+ youth in NYC public schools. Our concept was to make each law a unique character who lived in a realm called The Q-niverse.
The character designs are minimalist and geometric to be as inclusive as possible. Their world is a vaporwave manifestation of cyberspace, with emojis, pixelated typefaces, and other graphics inspired by Y2K internet nostalgia.
