Cutting the Money Laundering Cycle (Editorial Key Art)

This is key art created for a featured story on industries targeted by anti-money laundering measures making it more difficult for launderers to legitimize their cash flow. I designed this compositing a photo of my hand holding scissors along with a clothesline clipped with 100 dollar bills. I manipulated the photos with color overalys and distortion while adding graphic simple graphic elements to indicate failure of operations.
