Project Description
The purpose of this project was to create an informational scientific poster about the life cycle of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas). This poster aims to share some interesting facts and science of the different life stages of those turtles. Essentially, the visualization explains three behavioral characteristics (sex determination, “the lost years” and natal homing) in three different phases of their growth which are quite rare amongst animals. People are expected to increase their interest in this unique species and develop awareness of its endangerment. Design-wise I envisioned this poster as a dynamic snapshot in the life of the different stages to immerse the viewers in the turtles’ environment.
