The Advanced Graphic Design Class is working with an outside client to design a logo for the Edgecombe County Tourism Association and this is my research for that commission.

New Infographic for the Barton Student Newspaper



I have been allowed to create a Cooking/Recipe Column for the school paper! So, for my first article I created a recipe for a Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte that is a healthier alternative to the Starbucks beverage. Instead of a photograph to go along with my article, I created this infographic. I absolutely love it, and I can't wait to see it in the paper!

This Infographic shows the recipe for the homemade pumpkin syrup that goes in the Latte. 


Designing a Letterhead and Envelope





Creating an Info-Graphic

I began with Referencing a standard color wheel and another infographic that I loved, which referenced emotions in correspondence with colors. I love this concept because I am such a visual thinker and I really do associate concepts with color. 


For my own infographic I wanted to incorporate a variety of concepts that could be associated with color, and I wanted to continue my work with geometric designs. 


I was inspired by these designs as well:





I began with a basic plan which i drew out in photoshop:



Then I designed the rest in Illustrator. Here is the final result:


I am so proud of this piece, it is my favorite graphic that I have designed so far!
