Lisa Kennedy’s Professional Illustration for the Community elective collaborated with Reasons To Be Cheerful to create illustrations, animated gifs, and dingbats for the Cool Project. RTBC is a solutions journalism site, a journalistic genre which features solutions to world issues, not just the problems. The Cool Project demonstrates ways in which cities are lowering the rising climate temperatures.
“Reasons to be Cheerful was founded by artist and musician David Byrne, who believes in the power of approaching the world with curiosity—in art, in music, in collaboration and in life. Under the banner of Byrne’s non-profit organization, Arbutus, Reasons to be Cheerful embodies this sensibility, applying it now to the future of our world. Through stories of hope, rooted in evidence, Reasons to be Cheerful aims to inspire us all to be curious about how the world can be better, and to ask ourselves how we can be part of that change.”
