Community Food Advocates came to me with a request to promote a local sustainable food initiative, the Volunteer Gardners Brigade. They wanted both a branded bade-style logo, and an illustrated poster to help visualize and engage possible participants. They wanted the style and tone to resemble the old ‘Victory Garden’ posters on the WWII era. I started with the badge, and then sketched out a few possible poster designs. The design that was chosen was then fully developed and illustrated, colored and textured digitally.
