Pineapples to Posh | Senior Thesis

Thesis Statement | Florida is best known for being the Sunshine State. Even though it is often viewed as a slice of paradise with miles of beautiful beaches, offers leisure living and is a prime tourist destination, to me it is home. Growing up in Boca Raton has meant a lot to me. I am inspired by my home town and want to share what I love about it. Between the warmth, vibrant colors, and amazing views, Boca Raton has a reputation of being a luxurious place to live. I decided to take pictures of historical buildings and landmarks that tell of the town’s history. When looking at the photos, I chose to focus on the shapes that were created within the frame and combine the history that was represented within the objects. From the photos, I designed two modern graphics to represent both the modern elegance side of what the city has to offer while still honoring the historical elements of Boca Raton. Through this book, my hope is that you will discover my thinking process of design, what I think is important to highlight in design, and the love I have for Boca Raton. Come enjoy a slice of paradise with me from the Japanese immigrants in the 1900’s to resort living designed by the father of Boca Raton, Addison Mizner, Pineapples to Posh.
