I had the pleasure of working with St. Johns Regional Audubon, a nonprofit based in northern Florida dedicated to protecting and restoring habitats for birds and other wildlife.
For my Graphic Design III course, I created a series of five conceptual posters for the organization. Their mission aligned with themes I was passionate about, and the posters below are the result.
Tools Used: Clip Studio Paint Pro, Adobe Illustrator
Dimensions: 18" x 24"
Poster 1: CARE
This is the first and most time taking of the series. This piece helped shape the visual direction and conceptual goals for the set of the five posters. A monotone piece that highlights a white bird silhouette, allowing it to stand out against its environment. Each poster in the series is paired with a word. This one: CARE.

Poster 2: EXPLORE
Inspired by the organization’s mission to locate and protect eagle nests, this piece encourages discovery. It speaks to the idea of noticing birds you may have never seen before, like an invitation to step outside and explore the world around you.

Poster 3: SAFE
This piece highlights Lights Out, a program aimed at reducing city light pollution during bird migration. Artificial light can disorient birds and lead to fatal collisions. The poster imagines a world where birds can fly safely, free from the hazards of the city.

Poster 4: GROW
This piece emphasizes the importance of planting native species at home. Native plants provide food and shelter for birds, supporting local ecosystems. The concept aligns with the organization’s initiative to promote and offer native plants to the community.

Poster 5: LEARN
Created with the spirit of curiosity, this final piece reflects the organization’s mission to make bird education accessible to all. Featuring a woodpecker, drawn and based on their logo, the poster invites viewers to explore, engage, and discover the endless possibilities of learning about the natural world.
