Shrinking Real Estate Commissions
Unused illustrations for a story on the potential obsolescence of agents in the age of online real estate apps. The idea was to show a sort of narrative of the buying process, with the harried agent being left out of the loop.These were inspired by mid-century architecture and illustration styles. The editors ultimately wanted a less playful tone, so I created photo-illustrations using vintage real estate imagery, mixed with modern geometric patterns.
