The Basics of Composting




The Basics of Composting encompases a poster and a guidebook that introduce people to the practice of composting waste. 

The aim of this exercise was to organize heavy informational text in a meaningful way such that it was not only legible, but readable as well.  

For my personal touch on this project, I wanted it to exist more realistically or practically in our world. Therefore, I made the guide into a pocket-sized book that includes a section for personal notes.
