Project Type: Design - Social Media

Tools: Adobe Illustrator

Role: Designer & Content Creator

​

Overview:
This project was an Instagram carousel post created for the JMU University Recreation Center Health and Wellness Team. The team provided a Word document of tips and information they wanted to share with students during Finals Week. I transformed that content into a visually engaging post that was drafted, designed, and published during the finals period.

 

Design Concept:

• The theme centered around managing stress during finals, which I found challenging to represent visually.

• To balance the serious topic, I used cute pixel-style graphics to humorously depict stress and coping strategies.

• All design layouts and compositions were created in Adobe Illustrator, while the pixel icons were sourced from free pixel art websites.

 

Result:
The final carousel offered a fun, relatable way for students to engage with wellness tips during a high-stress time, aligning with the University Recreation Center’s mission to promote healthy habits in a lighthearted and accessible format.
