I made these #sky #collages as a proposal for a project. The client ended up choosing a different direction. I still like them so thought I’d share. I have availability in December for new projects. Email hello@sjzavala.com if you're interested in working together. #digitalcollage #graphicdesign

Found Fukt Magazine 22 (the nature issue) at Unitom book store, Manchester. It has an article on queer ecology featuring my illustrations for my project on #QueerBotany.
The original logo for A Dash of Lavender was designed by me in 2022 based off the Worshipful Society of Apothacaries of London coat of arms, featuring the diety Apollo (god of the sun and healing). I revised it and removed the figure, focusing on the sun and lavender.
