No Small Plans is a graphic novel project developed by the Chicago Architecture Foundation and Eyes of the Cat Illustration (Devin Mawdsley, Kayce Bayer, Deon Reed, and Chris Lin) and was directed by Gabrielle Lyon. The book is intended to be used as a textbook in Chicago-area high schools to teach youths about city planning, civic participation, and zoning.
I created the Burnham interludes as a homage to Daniel Burnham, the author of The Plans for Chicago. Historical texts and illustrations were sampled prominently in these six pages, and they serve as a connector between the main narrative and the historical contexts.
