Inspired by a bat conservation poster I created in design school, I thought of sharing some unique facts about the creatures with which bats share their home in the sky: birds! As a reminder, there are many birds on the endangered species list. I encourage everyone to find out how they can donate or volunteer to help these wonderful creatures— I grabbed my facts from the very helpful American Bird Conservancy website. From there, you can also learn more about the threats to our world’s birds and what you can do to support them.

 

Challenge

  • Create a graphic icon style that fits with all the sizes and shapes of the featured birds and facts

Solution

Using geometric shapes to simplify the shapes of the birds and bubbles to hold fun facts about each one, I’ve come up with a very distinct iconography for this piece. The vibrant colors are also eye-catching enough on their own to draw attention to the information (these colors are inspired by yet another bird, the Hyacinth Macaw!)
