Wearing is Caring

Typographic Poster Design for COVID-19 Prevention

Year: 2022
Award: GDUSA Health + Wellness Design Awards

The repeated “WEARING” emphasizes the importance of wearing a mask more frequently and in many different places. When you wear a mask often, you show that you care—not just for yourself, but for those who are unable to get vaccinated or wear a mask, as well as for the entire community.

Process

Confusing English Idioms, Illustrated

Every language has interesting sayings and expressions. I illustrated English idioms based on my first impression or how they may be misinterpreted. This is an ongoing personal project that I enjoy.

Some of the idioms are sourced from Scholastic Dictionary of Idioms by Marvin Terban.
