Ocean Discovery Institute project

Right now I'm working on a project for the Ocean Discovery Institute here in San Diego, an organization that "uses science exploration to engage urban and diverse young people in three ways: education, scientific research and environmental stewardship". My job is to make visual aids that they can take into the classroom as part of the education arm. This is just a small thumbnail sketch for a 24x36" poster that is meant to describe how using electricity at home is linked to releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It's part of a project students will do that involves them tracking their electricity use at home and making changes to reduce it. My next poster will probably describe "vampire electricity". Bit of a departure from my usual work, but an interesting project. And yes, I am aware that the light switch is twice the size of this kid's head. It's a thumbnail, okay??
