Assigned to create a poster around an environmental issue, I chose to feature the endangered sea turtle. The poster uses a play on words to grab the viewer’s attention and bring awareness to the detrimental effects of harvesting. The net illustration represents the capture of the turtle, while also forming the pattern of the shell.
This poster was awarded Best in Show at Cabrini University's 2022 Art + Effect High School Poster Exhibition. Cabrini received 71 submissions from 11 high schools in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and a panel of judges then chose 15 of the submissions for the exhibition based on originality, artisanship and thematic message. I was honored to have my poster displayed in the university’s Gorevin Gallery in winter of 2022, and receive this award at the opening reception and ceremony.
