The assignment: choose a lecture related to the theme “Forces of Nature” and make a poster for the event. I was inspired by this lecture’s title: Brian Skerry Reveals the Ocean’s Glory and Horror. I love the drama of the juxtaposition of the concepts glory and horror. I decided to tell that story using color and illustrative elements.
