Synopsis#

Renew payout of $5,000 per FC for 7 cycles to Sage for continuation of creation of illustrations and artwork for Juicebox.

Motivation#

The art and illustrations continue to be an important part of the Juicebox identity and we should continue to use the visuals for promotion and visibility purposes. My illustrations are on almost every visual thing posted about Juicebox, the newsletter, twitter posts, the website. I hope to continue to spread Banny and friends across the crypto community and beyond. I believe (maybe i’m biased) but the art/illustrations/character design brings people in, and makes people interested and curious about the protocol. As Peel continues to explore making new interfaces and dapps for JB there will be a continued need for new illustrations and designs. I am currently working on the illustrations for the new educational section for the create flow.

Specification#

• Continue to make illustrations that will be used by the visibility team /discord / twitter / websites 

• Create and promote google form where people can input illustrations they want/need - that way to keep requests organized and I don't lose them in the Discord channel

• Continue to work with Peel creating illustrations

• Create a Slice store or use a made to order website where people can buy JB merch (Stickers/Hats/coozies/socks) 

• Continue to add new illustrations/gifs to the tenor/giffy keyboard

Rationale#

People love Banny and friends and it’s important to continue to spread these characters around the ecosystem! Juicebox is complex and the art/illustrations can aid tremendously in conveying information and adding a visual break for project owners that are trying to understand/grasp the features. 

Art isn’t just an afterthought in Juicebox; it’s a fundamental pillar alongside its amazing contracts and front-end. It's the visual identity of Juicebox, and maintaining its appeal is crucial for attracting new followers.

Risks#

What might go wrong?

I don't create the art/illustrations people want.
