Precious Lives
Precious Lives is a series of public service posters about the protection of marine life. Thin red rope is used to outline the forms of a sea turtle, a jellyfish and a whale. The rope binds and suspends each creature to show that marine animals are endangered by waste thrown into the ocean. The illustrations are drawn with vector design software and produced with high level printing technology. Each printed sheet measures 800 millimeters by 800 millimeters. The exaggerated imagery is intended to draw public attention to marine ecology.
