In this project, I challenged myself to digitally illustrate three plants, using Adobe Fresco, that are native to the state of Alabama (and found in my backyard) and were used by indigenous Americans for medicinal purposes.

Using my drawings, I created the poster in InDesign, because I enjoy the way the application deals with type. I chose two of my favorite typefaces, Adobe Caslon and P22 Underground, for the copy. Using a scanned piece of parchment, I created a textured background to create a more dynamic aesthetic. The result is a poster that is as informative as it is beautiful.
