I begin all of my designs in black and white. Then, I overlay the text and graphics. Alignment and placement are essential tools in my designs. I start with the focal point, then add the details to complete the design. I want to ensure there is an overall balance to each design, so nothing is out of place and every aspect has a purpose. Lastly, I add splashes of colors to attract more attention to the parts of the design I want the audience to see first. These are samples of designs I created both in college and in the real world.
