Watermelon Inlander Poster

For this project, I designed a magazine-style cover for a summer camps guide produced by The Inlander. My concept was inspired by summertime picnics and outdoor activities. I used watermelon slices as the main visual element because they are strongly associated with summer and feel bright and fun. The background uses a red and white gingham pattern, which helps reinforce the picnic theme. I chose playful script typography to match the relaxed and seasonal feeling of the design. Along with the final cover, I also created a mood board, color palette, and early sketches to show the development of the idea and how the final design came together.

About the Designer

Amylouise Smith

My name is AmyLouise Smith and I am a graphic design student with a strong interest in illustration and visual storytelling. I enjoy creating designs that are colorful, engaging, and concept driven. A lot of my work focuses on combining illustration with graphic design elements to create pieces that feel both creative and visually clear. When I start a project, I usually begin with sketches and research to explore different ideas before moving into digital design. I enjoy the process of experimenting with concepts and refining them until I find the direction that works best. Many of my projects are inspired by themes like nature, travel, and imagination, which often show up in my posters, patterns, and illustrated designs. I also like exploring different areas of design such as branding, poster design, and publication layout. Through these projects, I try to focus on creating work that communicates clearly while still feeling fun and visually interesting. As I continue studying graphic design, I hope to keep developing my illustration style, strengthen my design skills, and create work that connects with people.
