Perils of Biodiversity Loss
This class project began in 2024. The purpose of this project was to create such media for the theoretical client, Sustainable Living Academy. The goal was to create media that would educate the public about sustainable living. For my project, I chose to show how human activity, like overexploitation of resources and farming, affect biodiversity around the US. I wanted to emphasize the importance of biodiversity and how a loss of it could be truly devastating. I chose to communicate this through visuals that show the consequences of our actions, using this idea to tell my viewer that if nothing changes, we will be the cause of world destruction.
Content Map
Beginning my project here, I created this map to brainstorm different ideas that stem from a loss of biodiversity. With the overall design, I wanted it to feel informative, but still leave space for the viewer to breath.
Social Poster: CHANGE
The purpose of this poster is to show how scary the world could become if we do not change the way we live. I made the fire large and bright, as it is the main focus point. The second being the person carved into the tree, a representation of how we are the source of biodiversity loss.
Informative Brochure
I reused the tree from my poster but added more details to further expand on the idea. The point of this brochure is to educate people with knowledge and statistics about how over exploitation of land is a problem as well as providing solutions on how one may contribute.
Informative Sculpture with Scale
At this point, it figured I might as well finish off my series with the tree on fire. The goal was to create a metaphorical sculpture in which people could walk through.
