After visiting Georgia, I couldn’t stop thinking about the textures and colors I’d seen like the deep reds of baseball games, soft peaches on roadside signs, and sun-faded billboards. I started collecting visual pieces that felt like souvenirs from the trip, both physical and digital. That sparked the idea to collage pieces of Georgia together to make something that captured how I felt on that trip.

I created stamps, illustrated a foam finger, pulled typography that gave off that old-school Americana feel, and used layered textures to tie it all together. Every element, down to the “Georgia On My Mind” lyric, was intentionally chosen to feel authentic and Southern. I then printed it out and trimmed it to be put on display.
