Politico - Ocean in Crisis
Ocean in Crisis looks at how the world’s oceans are facing climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. For all three illustrations, I had the idea of using a white border with elements of the illustration breaching it to invade the viewer’s space, forcing them to take notice and showing this is a very real part of our world not just something to read about.
Illustration 1: ‘The global ocean economy is at risk, endangering 134 million jobs.’
Illustration 2: ‘In Italy’s Po River delta, incoming Atlantic blue crabs caused clam production to collapse’
Illustration 3: ‘The longest marine heat wave in the Mediterranean led to surface temperatures up to 4.3°C higher than normal’
