Gentrification

This book cover design was part of a larger project based on Gentrification, and the influences that affluent individuals have had on urban communities.  The concept was to visually demonstrate the influences through parody, but using a highly recognizable design.  In this case the parody was based on the game of Monopoly, in which board sections were replaced by places or objects that have been influenced by the gentrification process (in this case, rent inflation, and the craft brew phenomenon).  The book itself consists of several additional pages (10 in total), that represent gentrification through different design approaches.
