Creole poster design
Project Statement
For this project, I created a series of three infographics around creole cooking "How To". The graphics breakdown the steps to creating three New Orleans style recipes, creole seasoning, a roux, and beignets.
Intended audience
The intended audience for these posters would be people who want to learn new recipes, and more specifically, southern recipes. These posters would be found within grocery stores near the main ingredients for each recipe.
Research
To begin my research, I started by searching between recipes for each of these food items. I created a recipe based on the main ingredients and directions found across multiple websites.
Design Process
To begin the design process I decided on two color I wanted to use for my infographics. I used these two colors and shades of them for the entire project. This ensures a cohesive design set. I then began making thin line sketches for each poster, describing each step of the recipe. I wanted these to be simple and easy to understand. Below you can see the beginning stages of some of the sketches.
Final solution
For my final solution, I created a set three infographics that have images, written steps, and a list of ingredients. My goal was to make the posters an easy as possible for the everyday grocery shopper to read and to follow.

New Orleans Postcard
Project Statement
For the second part of this project, I had to design something separate to correlate with my infographics. I chose to create a New Orleans style post card.
Intended audience
This post card is intended for people who travel to the city of New Orleans and want a keepsake or something to send to a friend or family member.
Research
For my research, I began by searching for examples of architecture in downtown New Orleans. I knew I wanted to incorporate this style into the post card, and to highlight the details of the buildings.
Design Process
Once I found the photo of the building I wanted to use, I brought it into Adobe Illustrator and traced the details onto an art board. To balance out the composition I took points from the illustration and connected them all to the bottom left corner.
Final solution
For my final post card, I decided to keep the same color pallet, font, and style of illustration cohesive for both sections of the project so that they would go together well. I created a design that fits the New Orleans style and that showcases the architecture found within the city.
