The text is overlaid with a translucent white background so that part of the image appears through it. This creates a cohesion between background and foreground, and yet allows the most important aspect of the site - their research - to shine.")

The entire site was create with the word \"organic\" in mind. I combined an earthy palette with easily-digestible blocks of text and images that tell a cohesive story. From the president of the organization: \"Working with Alison was great. She is as efficient as she is creative, and she translated our vision into reality perfectly. Thanks to her efforts we were able to connect with our target audiences and successfully achieve our community group's funding goal. I wholeheartedly recommend Alison.\"")

They wanted an engaging page that not only educates potential donors on why helping people become US citizens is so vital, but also to provide a space where donors can provide words of encouragement to people going through the sometimes arduous process.")

The will serve as a vast resource hub and action center with the tagline: \"Justice in the palm of your hands\". In the design brief, it was noted that they want their initialism AJP to be the key to their name and brand. They also liked the idea of a torch or eternal flame for justice. Combining these ideas, I hand-drew the letters AJP in the form of a red-hot flame, giving it a fiery red to orange gradient. This gradient is then repeated in the word JUSTICE.")

For this logo, I wanted to focus on the idea of connection. I turned the O in Ocean and the C in Connect into interlocking rings. To align it with the ocean theme, I used a gradient of blues as the color palette and transformed the C in Connect into a wave. Given that their demographic is high schoolers, I paired the graphic with a futuristic, almost game-like font-type.")

For this logo, I used a hand-drawn continuous line to emphasize the idea that we are all connected and dependent on one another. It also underscores the communal, grassroots efforts of this non-profit.")

The most prominent feature of this logo is the large exclamation point that arches over the words Hempstead Now. The idea was to not only use the exclamation point that is in their name in a bold, graphical way, but to also create this idea of a sun or horizon - a new dawn over the village of Hempstead. The use of NOW in a bold, italic font imbues the word with a sense of immediacy and a sense of looking to the future. Shades of blue were used to show the affiliation with the Democratic party.")

To achieve this, I used a custom graphic font coupled with a bright, modern color splash. I kept the expected Democratic blue, but paired one bright, bold, flashy hue with a more serious, darker shade. Concentric circles were used to represent timelessness and the cyclical nature of life.")

This logo is based on the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Earth is represented by the ring of green, which was created from an image of local rice plant that grows in the region; Air is represented by the egret, a common bird in the area; The egret is silhouetted by the large sun in the center representing the fire aspect; Lastly, the ring of blue is the watershed itself. The circle motif was used to represent the cycles of life in this richly diverse region of the States.")

I created a graphical representation of the quintessential New York skyline, superimposing it on the three letters of their acronym: DID. Placing the Statue of Liberty in the center \"I\" sets this letter apart and underscores the idea that they are independent thinkers. Shades of blue were used as a clear indication that they were a Democratic club.")

I used the iconic New York skyline with the equally iconic Brooklyn Bridge superimposed. The bring was used to symbolize that uniting of the city's boroughs. I used dark blue as the main color to signify her Democratic political leaning, but also to represent the night sky. The golden gradient was used as a play on her name and to symbolize the dawn of a new day.")

The use of a Fibonacci spiral inherently represents ideas of artistry, beauty, and creativity. Additionally, as the birds move along this spiral, they grow larger and larger and eventually break free, evoking feelings of freedom, release, and accomplishment. A warm color palette was chosen to represent the internal fire in all of us.")
