Skittles by Zoë Barker

Dario at Handsome Frank, Featured Project

Zoë's illustrated London map celebrates LGBTQ+ chosen families through vibrant storytelling.

Some briefs ask you to make something beautiful. Others ask you to tell a story. This one wanted both. Working with Skittles, Zoë created a playful illustrated map of London celebrating ‘Chosen Families’ - spotlighting the people, places and moments that have shaped LGBTQ+ history across the city.

Zoë developed a series of individual illustrations for each featured location, giving every story its own visual identity while keeping the whole composition connected through a bright, hand-sketched palette. The result is a guide that encourages curiosity, celebrates community, and Zoë dialled up the rainbow with bold, vibrant colours whilst keeping to her unmistakable pencil style.
