Question of the Week Illustrations
Illustrations // Digital Engagement
“Question of the Week” is a weekly email club and ongoing engagement initiative that invites members to respond to a new question each week. Responses are shared anonymously alongside a custom illustration.
Overview
Over nine years, I’ve created 400+ illustrations for the series. With a new question every week, I explored different illustration styles and experimented with simple animation to keep the recurring email feeling fresh and engaging.
The Question of the Week Club was recognized with a Gold Prix d’Excellence Award from the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education for its creative approach to alumni engagement and community building.
Featured here are selected highlights from the archive, alongside the original questions that inspired them.
