Word of the Day Postcards

Graphic Design

This project challenged me to design and produce a postcard every day for one month. Each postcard was inspired by Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day, requiring me to translate a new word, concept, or idea into a compelling visual composition within a short timeframe.

While the daily schedule encouraged rapid ideation and experimentation, the primary challenge was creating a cohesive visual language that could unify the series despite the wide range of subjects. Balancing consistency with variety required careful consideration of typography, color, composition, and imagery across all thirty-one designs.

The project strengthened my ability to develop concepts quickly, work within tight deadlines, and maintain a consistent design system across a large body of work. It also pushed me to think creatively about visual storytelling, finding unique ways to communicate abstract words and meanings through graphic design.
