Positioning
Everything on the planet is interconnected. Though as individuals our actions may seem isolated, collectively they yield devastating effects on our planet. This campaign reaches out to the individual so that we may may changes as a whole. Artwork is hand drawn to show horrific images meant to visually arrest the viewer. In each piece a single person will be committing an act of murder while a vessel resides in the distant background to subtly show how it takes many people to allow just one person to commit murder through reckless waste.
Consumer Promise
Collectively we can save the lives of marine animals.
- Visual: A sailor suffocates a penguin with soda pop plastic rings. He stands behind it, both hands pulling on the ring six-pack, one foot pushing on it’s back. Ship and glacier in the background.
