Dana Kristine Cheit is a digital illustrator with a dual interest in graphic design. Cheit’s thesis work, Young Rebels, explores the role that visual metaphor has played in activist movements throughout history.

Through the subversion of everyday symbols, in tandem with a re-imagining of the common collectible trading card, Young Rebels invites young people to find personal connections with young activists throughout history, and through the power of visual metaphor, to co-opt the ordinary objects in their lives into tools of resistance and education.
