"Save the Planet" We've been saying it for decades... The planet needs our help! We each have a personal responsibility to do our part in protecting the Earth. Environmental Posters usually have a soft look to them. Many of them use colors of green and blue. A quick search reveals a plethora of suitable examples to draw inspiration from. (www.bing.com/images/search?q=environmental+posters&FORM=HDRSC2) However, I wanted my poster to set a different tone. I wanted to express a sense urgency to the situation at hand.
