Keep Growing Detroit – Urban Agriculture Graphic Design

Create a meaningful graphic that represents Detroit’s urban gardening and community agriculture movement. The design needed to communicate growth, sustainability, and local pride while remaining simple enough for apparel, posters, and community campaign materials
