Fashion Spread
The product of a group project with two other Langara students, Marie Adamo and Jenessa Camarda. This fashion spread used photos supplied by the photography department with the theme of “black and white”. Graphics are my work, photo treatment was shared, and copy was written by Marie and Jenessa.
Ending End User Responsibility: Why Plastics Need to be Cut Off at the Source
Rejoice ye sinners, ye half washers, ye bad sorters! And know that from the most fastidious, to the lackadaisical, what happens to your recycling is beyond your control.
