Reflection
After looking at the supplied color swatches I decided to create a newsletter that might be distributed on a modern independent cruise ship. The name Starboard, stylized ship and anchor graphics, and port and starboard line motif were created around this theme. The articles themselves are better suited to a land locked location, but the ship theme just stuck for me. This came to be one of my favorite projects, sometimes restrictions (like color swatches) can lead to creative problem solving. Instead of limiting color, I decided to embrace it!
