Flying the Nest

An illustration to accompany an article in Inside Housing Magazine, about providing support for children and teenagers who are in care homes and an ongoing commitment when they are ready to leave care, so helping them to become independent. The bases of the illustration is about ‘flying the nest’ resulting in a conceptual image of a nest with children inside and teenagers walking out.

Council Dept

The feature is about councils gaining freedom in the way they spend the debt, however some councils have more than others. The metaphor is doves flying from a cage, weighted with different depts.

Immigration

Immigrants often bear the brunt of the blame for housing shortages. The article looks at new rules for landlords who now have to make checks that determine whether tenants from abroad have the Right to Rent in the UK.

The concept is one that shows a large line of people queuing at a ‘UK Border Control-style’ sign. The sign has two entrances: One which leads to housing (Approved). And one that leads to nowhere (Denied).
