“Intelligent Beings, Not Food Items: Octopus Farming Campaign”

OBJECTIVE: Create a powerful visual representation of octopus sentience and intelligence to support ALI’s campaign against industrial octopus farming.

APPROACH: I used an illustrative style with emotional appeal, portraying an octopus as a sentient activist protesting the captivity of its own kind. The design uses visual storytelling to highlight the ethical concerns of farming these highly intelligent creatures.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Policy makers, seafood industry stakeholders, and consumers who may not be aware of octopus intelligence and the ethical implications of industrial farming.

IMPACT: This visual aims to create an emotional connection between viewers and octopuses, transforming how people perceive these intelligent marine animals and supporting ALI’s policy initiatives against octopus farming.

“Ocean Guardians: The Unseen Majority”

OBJECTIVE: Create an engaging visual that highlights the importance of protecting marine ecosystems and the diverse species that often remain invisible to the public eye.

APPROACH: I designed this underwater scene featuring various marine species surrounding a bold, central message. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw viewers in while the simple yet powerful message reminds us that conservation extends beyond what’s immediately visible. The diverse representation of marine life (sharks, jellyfish, crab, whale) emphasizes the biodiversity at stake.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: General public, marine conservation advocates, policy makers, and educational programs focused on ocean literacy.

IMPACT: This design aims to shift perspective on marine protection by emphasizing our responsibility to protect species that exist largely outside human awareness. The memorable slogan “Protect What We Cannot See” serves as both an educational reminder and a call to action.

“Universal Rights: Bridging Land and Sea”

OBJECTIVE: Create a powerful visual statement that unifies animal protection across ecosystems, emphasizing that both terrestrial and aquatic species deserve equal consideration in welfare and conservation efforts.

APPROACH: I designed this composite using high-quality photographic elements arranged around a clear, bold message. The deliberate inclusion of both iconic land animals (lion, panda, tiger) and diverse marine life (turtle, sharks, dolphin, penguin) creates visual balance between these ecosystems. The blue backdrop unifies the composition while subtly emphasizing water as the foundation of all life.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Conservation organizations, policy makers, educational institutions, and cross-sector collaborations working on comprehensive animal protection initiatives.

IMPACT: This design serves as both an educational tool and advocacy piece, encouraging viewers to expand their concept of protection beyond familiar charismatic species to include the full spectrum of animal life. The message is intentionally straightforward and universal, making it accessible across different cultures and contexts.
