Students designed their posters to work in a “tiled” format for greater impact. Individual posters are 11″x17″.

After a presentation on polluted stormwater runoff by NepRWA Outreach Director, Nancy Fyler, students worked with their art teacher, Kevin Motta, to create outreach posters in a simple and visually striking way, using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Before designing their posters, they researched the topic and discussed how to clearly communicate the message to their audience.

According to student, Sandy Cai, “It was a great experience to learn about how we negatively impact the natural waterways individually. I personally love the lessons I’ve learned about the origin of polluted waterways. I enjoy that we are helping others realize our impacts on pollution through making these colorful posters.”

The students who participated in the project were Sandy Cai (Grade 11), Brian Chan (Grade 10), Ke Chen (Grade 11), Nathan Guan (Grade 11), Herron Situ (Grade 11), Oliver Smith (Grade 11), and Songen Yu (Grade 11).
