Projects

T-Shirt Design

I used Apple Keynote to design this potential T-shirt design. In the end, we decided our money was better spent on something else.

The Smile Bag

I used Apple Keynote to design this infographic to show what we needed to find to create smile bags.

The Skinny Dip Fundraiser

I used Apple Keynote to design these posters that we hung around the school for a fundraiser at a local frozen yogurt place.
