Growing

Design

Watercolor, Adobe Photoshop

Designed a yearbook cover for Santa Catalina School.

The Challenge

Santa Catalina's yearbook staff wanted a yearbook with a sophisticated and mature style. The theme "Growing at Santa Catalina" sought to tell a linear story of personal growth using the metaphor or a seed growing into a tree. The cover design needed to introduce the theme at first glance.

The Solution

In order to acheive a more traditional and mature aesthetic, I decided to use the traditional medium of watercolor to illustrate a full grown tree. I combined the painting with type and a textured paper background which would serve as design elements later in the book.
