Over the next four months,

the sanctuary’s staff, rangers,

volunteers, and workshop lead-

ers graciously let me follow

them around and document their

work. While I didn’t see as many

animals as I had initially hoped-

the 30 hectares of bushland

turned out to be a much larger

hiding place for them than I

could’ve guessed I learned so

much about them, and the rest

of the sanctuary, that I felt my ex-

perience had much more value.

“I was Eliza Thornberry.”

The day after Orientation I

grabbed a new friend to explore

the site with. All I wanted was

what any 21-year-old female

American in Australia wanted- to

see the kangaroos. And knowing

that I would be taking my irst photojournalism course at this

university, I already had my irst subject picked out. I was Eliza

Thornberry. And this Sanctuary

would be my next big adventure.

An adventure it was, but not in

the ways I was most expecting.

The sanctuary irst opened its gates in 1967, but any visitor

today can see the land has many

nods to a rich history before that.

Cases in point are the magnii-

cent redwood “scar” trees that

blanket the bushland. These

trees are named so because

Aboriginal Australians in the 1800s

used their wood to make canoes

and other tools. The indigenous

people knew if they cut the

trees in such a way it would not

kill them, but only leave a scar.

Another main attraction to the

sanctuary is the workshops it

offers to primary through high

school students from nearby

schools. Students can come

spend anywhere between a few

hours to an entire day at the

sanctuary, learning how to call

frogs, identify water plants, and

use nesting boxes to monitor

animal behavior, among other

things. There is even a nighttime

guided tour for people looking

to spot a sugar glider or two.

1We drew from our experiences

interacting with Gullah people,

online research, and photos

provided by the directors, to

come up with our Artboard- a

compilation of our inspirations

for the site. You will see our board

rel ected in our i nal site’s color

scheme, laid-back typeface, and

earthy textures.

2We had been given a great title to

work with: “The Last Farmer In Gullah

Land”, and this became our jumping

of point for design. Taking into

account the title’s elusivity, the i rst

thing we all agreed on was to utilize

silhouettes in our layout, as an iconic

representation of the “Last Farmer”.

3For our slideshow animation,

which was to be the bulk of

the homepage, we focused on

including shots that enforced

community and diligence-

two necessary traits that have

kept the Gullah culture alive in

St. Helena.

4We experimented with

diferent variations of our

initial design to ind one that

suited the ilm’s tone the

best. Two design techniques

we were hoping to use,

vibrant colors and pluf mud

texture, did not translate

well when put in place, so

we adjusted accordingly.
