This spring a friend and client, Jeanne Ruddy whose dance trope, Ruddy Dance is located in Philadelphia, choreographed a work called Oceans 1:Wetlands dealing with environmental problems facing the NJ Wetlands.

Jeanne’s passion is contagious and as a result I gave my Philadelphia University Graphic and Digital Design sophomores a project to design an advocacy poster on the topic. Most of my students had never heard of wetlands or at least had not been too concerned. Much research, and lots of design exploration was required—and at the end of the semester time was short. The results were exciting and several are below.
