TreePeople's Guide to Yards
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
Our urban forest, and our resilience against drought, includes your yard! Help us create a more sustainable Southern California by transforming and maintaining your yard into a gorgeous drought-resistant paradise. Our regional ecology is full of plants with bright flowers and healthy soils, not European grasses or rocks and cacti.
Half of urban water use goes towards outdoor irrigation. With these do-it-yourself solutions, you can help reduce the amount of water we waste.
The most challenging part in making these guides is making sure that the illustrations are accurate in depicting information. While the text is very clear in giving instructions, I wanted the visuals to make it more accessible to TreePeople's general audience that may not be too familiar with lawn maintenance. I was able to achieve this by collaborating closely with coworkers that are more knowledgeable in the subject matter.
