This was the second project in my Graphic Design I course, in which I had to design an environmental infographic, which incorporated key points, statistics, and a call to action on an environmental issue. I chose the environmental issue of eutrophication, which is when an aquatic environment becomes enriched with nutrients (usually caused naturally or by human-related input), which increases the amount of plant and algae growth on the surface of the water. I felt like this issue was relevant since it is common in places with large bodies of water, such as in Southwest Florida. 

For my color palette, since I was advocating for environmental awareness, I decided to go with natural earthly hues, such as greens, browns, and blues, and whites. I chose yellow to highlight key words and other important ideas in my text, since it contrasted well with the colors and brought dominance to whatever I applied it to. As for my typeface selection, I went with Nunito for my headers and sub-titles since it was easily visualized and worked well as a display font. For my body content, I chose Open Sans since it complemented and contrasted the rounded edges of Nunito.
