This logo was my first real brush with a complicated project in a professional setting. The Tawas Point Birding takes place every year in East Tawas, Michigan, and is run by Michigan Audubon. Since there was no prior logo for the event, I researched other birding festivals and conservation logos. The goal for the festival is […]

One of my final projects during my time at the Writing Center was to design a flyer for client surveys. The MSU Writing Center regularly asks clients to fill out a survey discussing their experience, and then this information is used to help consultants better cater to the needs of clients. Usually, the flyer is […]
