About the Endangered Species Poster
The amount of endangered species are continually growing. The point of this class project was to bring awareness to the endangerment of one specific species. I was assigned to research the Saola and create both an icon and a poster to bring awareness about them. I drew inspiration from the animal itself, their reason for going extinct, and the way they hide from hunters to complete this design.
