GLOBAL WARMING

Infographic Poster

Using infographics on a large format poster, I took on the challenge of explaining, “What the Hell is Global Warming?” To make the information easier to consume, I divided the poster into four sections with the first explaining the basics of the topic. The seconds goes into the politics of the subject; it started off by stating that over 97% of scientists agree that there is human-caused global warming, and the rest goes into examples and solutions. In the middle is a pair of hands holding the Earth with a quote, creating a representation that we have grown larger than the Earth and that we must learn to be gentle with it. I designed the icons bold and easy to read forms and kept the graphs simple, paying homage to traditional scientific findings but also keeping them interesting. I also used a variety of red, orange and blues throughout the poster; the accenting colors represent heat and earthly tones.
