Illustration for The New York Times: „Looking for the Cheapest Room Rate? HotelSlash Wants to Help.“
I was commissioned by NYT to illustrate their latest Frugal Traveler column, which reviews the services of a new hotel booking app.
I wanted to emphasize the aspect of planning and the goal of saving money when booking. Various hotel options are laid out on a Monopoly board. Elements such as credit cards, dice and banknotes lie around it. It‘s all about clever strategy, but also a pinch of luck.
Thanks to AD Minh Uong!
