Thesis 1 Reflections

In this year-and-a-half journey, here I revisit all of the work done through the first phase of the thesis.

Last semester, I fleshed out my illustration style for the project and worked on giving my design decisions a reason to be. One of my constant feedbacks throughout the first semester of thesis development was to root my designs in a sense of place. To achieve this, I have done visual research by creating a collection of images of Puerto Rico from nature to architecture, I asked myself: what does Puerto Rico look like?

I also created an image bank, exploring what graphic design has looked like in Puerto Rico throughout history and who the important figures have been.
