This poster really caught my eye at the session on Sunday. I loved the focus on the maps in the center and the overall use of color that was interesting but not overwhelming. The green and orange fit nicely with the idea of heat and plants.
The maps show how climate is changing globally but the focus of the project was on invasive plants in New York City. Perhaps the group should have focused their maps to the immediate area and how climate is changing locally
Though there was a lot of text, it was large print and legible to the reader. It was easy to follow with large, colorful titles and supplemented with transparent photos of the plants being discussed.
“A Study for Correlation between Climate and the Invasiveness of Two Introduced Plant Species in New York City”
Climate change deniers, I know you’re out there. I get it. (No, I don’t, I’m just saying that). A favorite line of mine is, “But it’s cold!” Sure, it used to be called “global warming.” Scientists make up silly names for things sometimes, don’t they? For example: the carpet shark, tasselled wobbegong. What even is a carpet shark, by the way?
It’s November and it’s 70 degrees outside. I get it. It’s weird. I’m upset I can’t use my flannel sheets yet, but maybe tomorrow I’ll need one of those awful balloon coats instead of a cute sweater. What odd weather. What a crazy climate! Deniers, this isn’t an attack on you, oh no. But you will feel like it might be. Please enjoy this broadcast.
You’re welcome.
