Drowning in plastic.

So I have no idea why the colours of my poster look like this. These are not the original colours if you guys recall. Everytime I upload this as a jpg or pdf  it changes the colours. I’ve tried different resolutions and sizes and nothing works.

Why is wordpress doing this to my files? Help!

This is a poster educating the public on littered plastic and where it ends up.

The idea basically started with the fish and then I decided I wanted to have an red and aqua/seafoam colour scheme for the poster. I didn’t want it to be too colourful and distracting. Simple shapes, 2 colours, little text.

The layers/levels or bottles are meant to look like water when viewed as a mass. Each bottle has 3 layers. I wanted to make it seem like a each bottle was a wave. I don’t think that idea really came through, but it created an interesting effect though. I played with the transparency and opacity to give it an eerie blurry underwater feel and had the fish slipping in and out of the water/bottles as if they were struggling in the big heaping mass of litter.

Added some text from the Canadian Shoreline Cleanup crew from the Vancouver Aquarium so people knwo how they can help stop this problem.

The logo is made up. I’m sure they won’t be using anytime soon.
