Where/What/How is RIDGEWOOD, QUEENS?

'Where, What, How is Ridgewood, Queens?' is my take on my senior portfolio project 'tell stories about a place in 20 objects' in Steve Brodner's class. I have lived in Ridgewood, Queens for a year and half now, and it is the first place I consider my own home, since I've left my hometown in China 6 years ago. I want to show the humanity and diversity of my neighborhood through objects I found on my way home every night, and really help the audience to take away something they can relate to about this place and the people who live here.
The poster folds into a small book, like a travel guide.
Each object is illustrated separately and the composition is put together digitally with Adobe Illsutrator.
At the end, I experimented with some product design with the graphics.
