50s Style Eco-Advertisements!
By Laila Kostorowski
For my final project in Environmental Science, I decided to put my graphic art skills to work. In this project, I aimed to create vintage advertisements and posters to comment on how much sooner we should have addressed environmental issues.
This is an ad for an electric car. I hoped to convey the power of advertising and American consumerism.
I intended for this piece to be more like a poster concerning the rising temperature at the poles.
This is also a poster but a bit more specific than the others. Large-scale deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest began in the 1960s and is still in progress; this truly is an issue that could (and should) have been managed decades ago.
