think green signs

          For this project I was in a group with Erin and Sam. Our goal was to recreate the signs currently used the bins for recycling paper and plastic/glass/metal. In part, we were inspired by the IBM advertisements which focus on a centered image with minimal text on the sides. For the paper sign I created a tree out of newspaper and coloured over the letters so they started out as a light green and faded into dark green. For the bottle we collected bottle wrappers which Sam decoupaged onto a bottle shape. I wrote calligraphy for the 'think green', and Erin scanned all of the images and added text. For the background we choose a khaki colour as it worked well with both images and kept with earthy theme we were going for. Overall I'm happy with the results and really enjoyed working on this project.
