    Flyer - St. Pete Sapphic Book Club

    In August 2026, I created a flyer for the St. Pete Sapphic Book Club’s monthly meeting. While periodically checking in for feedback from the client, I created an original flyer to encourage the local community to attend. My original illustrations showcased the vibrant community relationships that participants could find at this event. I drew these on paper, scanned them, cleaned them up and arranged them digitally, then wrote text by hand. Elements were clearly arranged for easy viewing and to create a sense of unity.
