I wanted to make my PSA on the importance of recycling. Our world only has so many resources, and simply recycling the things that can be recycled is vital for our environment. I’m hoping everybody sees this and resonates with the message. There are mountains of plastic bottles and crumbled up pieces of paper that were previously just thrown on the street. I placed them into mountains of bottles to show that a single piece of trash you see adds up and creates a pile. The color of the background and the sun is hazy because the lack of recycling is damaging to the environment.
I created this piece in Illustrator. I started by drawing one plastic water bottle and coloring it in. I then made copies of them and changed up the color so there’s six colors total. I drew a crumpled up piece of paper and made six colors. I copy and pasted and put them in different angles and sizes to form the shape of the mountain. I saturated the mountain in the front and desaturated the mountain in the back to show the value change and that they are different distances away.
