Stop the Plastic Tide

Protest Poster

My submission to UK Student Climate Network & Glug Events' 2019 #protestbydesign campaign aiming to create the world's largest open-access database of climate protest posters.

It was repurposed and adapted from a design I created in the exploration phase of my university final major project. I used the collage style to the reflect the idea of the turtle being seemingly ok above the surface, with danger (posed by plastic pollution) lurking below. The skeleton of the turtle, I drew with the pen tool in Illustrator. While the collage, composed of several photos & textures, I put together in photoshop.
