I was lead designer and illustrator for four interpretive signs for the Carolina Clear initiative at Clemson University in South Carolina. They are planned for installation across the state. The signs encourage appreciation of green stormwater features like rain gardens, stormwater ponds, and stormwater ditches. I developed a cohesive visual style. Also uniting the signs is an arcing branch of beautyberry, representing the full growing season from flowers to ripe berries. Custom digital illustrations add vibrant color. Three signs were 18x24" and one was 12x18". All signs are owned by Clemson University. Project completed while at The Watershed Company.
