This is a collection my favorite work form a Global Online Academy (GOA) course on graphic design I completed in early December 2019. For our capstone project, we were tasked with choosing a UN Sustainability Goal and finding a solution through graphic design. I chose Goal 14: Life Below Water which focuses on protecting and helping to sustain marine environments and combat ocean pollution. For my solution, I wanted to create a few posters which displayed impressive statistics but I also wanted to provide a way for viewers to actually help with these problems. So, I created a website and did research as to how people, specifically in the Seattle area (but also worldwide), could contribute.

Within the course, I explored many other skills related to graphic design such as layout, hierarchy, color choice, and using the golden ratio. Here's some more posters I created.

We also explored ways to create logos and branding. For this project, I made up a company called HUSK which creates biking gear.
