Assignment: Let’s Play Monopoly

Our starting point for this brief was the popular board game Monopoly, with artists invited to take inspiration from the design and visual elements of the game itself, as well as consider other ideas about the game – low-end and high-end property locations, commerce and capitalism, luck, chance and more…
