In order to design truly effective solutions that can solve problems and help improve lives, research is absolutely necessary throughout the process.

This is definitely the largest project I’ve attempted to tackle at one time.

One of my deliverables for this project is a series of social media posts that could be deployed by a school to encourage students to use their food share (food pantry).

So I started the event materials deliverable just thinking, oh, I just need a few things.

One of the quickest ways to get information out to people is through in person events.

This is the last round of the table logo.

This week, I worked on refining the type and color of my visual system.

For the logo process, I always start with some keywords.

For this session, I set up three flows—Onboarding, Finding Food Resources, and Finding Recipes.

The visual system doesn’t happen in a vacuum, it gets developed over many iterations and experiments with color, type, layout and texture.

This round was the first of the user flows.

After discovering the name for my project was already taken by a similar sounding organization, I set about searching for a new idea.

This round, I started off by rounding out the creative brief I worked out last semester into a Materials Matrix.

I started work developing the keywords last semester during the research process.

I was browsing Reddit last fall around the time I was trying to decide on a thesis topic, and I came across this question.
