Best Plants for Beginners Infographic
This is an infographic I created using data visualization that displays five good plant options for those new to taking care of plants. The data is shown visually with a graph that places each plant based off of the amount of sun and water needed. The original design was created in Dec 2022 but I reworked the poster in 2024 to improve my design.

I began this project by making six compositional sketches to test out different layouts. Once I picked a layout I creating my plant drawings with the pen tool and made a rough digital layout. After getting some feedback I decided to make the graph the size of the poster so that the illustrations could be better seen and the layout would be simpler.

Redesign!
After 2 years I decided to rework this poster in a vertical layout. I wanted to be able to imagine it as a typical poster you might see in a store or on the street. I specifically wanted the plant groupings to be more apparent and gave the poster an easier to read layout.
