This was created for a book cover comp for Celery Design Collaborative's new book Green Graphic Design. This was something that I've been wanting to do but didn't have the opportunity until now. The request for help on this project came Friday morning with a Saturday morning delivery. This lead me on a mad rush to the local gardening supply store for the last roll (mostly brown) of sod. I cut the pieces into basic components – curves, straight lines, etc. Shot them. Then photoshopped the whole thing together. Great to work on it for real. However, now that I've done this once, next time I'll make a point of allowing the sod time to straighten out and grow into longer blades of grass before cutting them up.
