intro to graphic design: a journey through my work and my coastal hometown

during the fall 2023 semester, I was able to work under dr. spencer barnes in his class, introduction to graphic design. In this class, i was able to learn the ins-and-outs of various programs within the adobe creative suite: photoshop, illustrator, and indesign. as the class progressed, i slowly figured out three things: 1) i love color - even more, i love finding out “weird” colors that actually look good together 2) boy do i love a serif font 3) being a graphic designer would genuinely be so much fun.

the final project for this class was to showcase all of my work within the class all while telling a story of some sort. I chose to tell the story of my hometown, morehead city, north carolina.
