With social distancing stretching into its second month, more people are asserting their creativity via Photoshop. In March one person gave George Washington a mask, and now graphic designer Riley Heldenfels has designed a new Metro SmarTrip card.

Riley’s design isn’t Coronavirus-specific. Instead, it pays homage to both DC’s federal and local sides, with prominent rowhouses in addition to monuments. And how about those sideways Washington Monuments?

Love it! Thanks for sharing, Riley!
