The Great Wave of Plastic
- Poster Design
- Design for Climate Awareness
A project from the “Visual Communication” course in my first year of college.
We were directed to visually make a graphic composition that would be able to showcase an environment-related issue and to indicate its scale within our composition.
I chose to base my idea around the famous painting, “The Great Wave” by Katsushika Hokusai in 1831.
The idea for this project was to indicate how every individual wastes 275 pieces of plastic every single week! To indicate that in a graphic piece, I got inspired to take the famous Japanese painting, “The Great Wave” and add pieces of trash in the water, to show how human plastic waste in water can ruin every beautiful thing in the world, including a well-done painting.
During this project, we were allowed to use assets that I had not originally taken or made. Therefore I found these collections of plastic waste found in nature, which were taken by Barry Rosenthal and published on CBS News under the title of “Found in nature”.
The artwork was later chosen to be displayed in the “X-ART” art gallery at
the University of San Francisco
