This is the farewell graphic I designed for the event that Advancement hosts when one of our coworkers reaches retirement.
The graphic is used both for email, web, and presentation purposes. I am asked to update it each time we host this event, with a new portrait and text.
The first image (left) was the previous design that Advancement used. The next two images were the first couple of drafts I made by playing around with image editing.
I tried playing around with the different UF colors, and really liked the cooler tones of the draft on the right. I decided to try and apply them to the first background image I chose, and that became the final design.
