An example of the images produced by the Imaginarium illustrators.
Professional artists illustrated the lives of over 100 people as part of a MoneySmart Week event run by TAL last week.
TAL Chief Customer and Operations Officer Penny Coates said: “The illustrations from the TAL Imaginarium were designed to help people really appreciate what is important in their lives, including the futures they imagine.”
“Participants were amazed to see their illustrations highlight so many things they value in their lives now, as well as their hopes and dreams for the future. Participants came away with a better understanding of the need to protect what’s precious to them.”
The TAL Imaginarium operated at four sites last week, as part of MoneySmart Week, to help improve financial literacy across Australia.
Over a few minutes, participants were asked about what they valued in their lives and imagined for their futures. As they did so, a hidden artist illustrated their responses, which were revealed at the end of the conversation.
Jane, 32, from Chatswood in Sydney, said the TAL Imaginarium helped clarify the dreams she has for the future, and made her realise she is determined to chase those dreams.
“It is too easy to forget the important things in life. To see the people and experiences I cherish and my imagined future come to life in an illustration was a wonderful experience and a complete revelation” she said.
TAL supports MoneySmart Week to improve financial literacy and help Australians build, grow and protect the lives they have created and the ones they imagine for the future.
