Inspiration: The inspiration was from a film about saving the world by protecting the environment. By educating herself on how to protect biodiversity, Rui Ma created a series of posters to raise awareness of conserving biodiversity through visual communication design.
Research: Research online from Google, Chose from subjects, Decided the categories, Had conversations with others if they realize the problems, Considered what would be the best/most sustainable way to produce the design.
Challenge: The most challenging part of this project would be the selection of subjects. There are plenty of environmental problems that we need to pay attention to. In the end, I decided to choose the subject: ways to protect biodiversity, because biodiversity provides healthy ecosystems that are really important to the earth.
Realization and Technology: I am always thinking: How visual communication design could help with solving environmental problems? After doing some research online, I decided to make this series of posters to visually attract people's attention and encourage everyone to participate in making our environment better.
