Goals

Advertise the wide array of writing opportunities that CAS offers to all NYU students

Process

Grid
The first step in each of these projects was creating a structured grid to guide the geometry of the designs.
Sketches
On a faded printout, I sketched the shapes to create sections of content.
Color and Content
Finally, I created the shapes digitally, adding color with an eye for contrast and setting the content strategically along the grid.
