    The Bridge That Eats Trucks: Before (their art) & After (my art) Comparison
    This is a comparison between the original art used on the Kickstarter page for "The Bridge That Eats Trucks" anthology. I saw one of the authors/creators of the project using the art on his social media, and I volunteered to create a much better & more engaging graphic for him to use! So this piece highlights my ability to take an existing piece of art, and design a much better version using composition, information hierarchy, color, and some of my own initiative for call-to-action advertising copywriting. Using my art on his & his co-creator's social media pages, they were able to meet their fundraising goal plus raised additional funds for the book project! photo logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer composition design socialmedia digitaldesign copywriting colortheory hierarchy advertising marketing fundraising…
