The Baykeeper campaign was a project completed at AAU. The objective was to choose a local non-profit and create a campaign and all related branding for that campaign. I chose Baykeeper, which is a San Francisco non-profit whose mission is to protect the water and animal life in San Francisco Bay. They frequently check the Bay's water to ensure that companies are not dumping toxic chemicals and trash into the ocean. The campaign I created was a plastic drive which served as a way to clean up plastic on the street but also educate people on how to recycle plastic in their everyday lives.

Visual system

Blue was chosen for the main color since it is the color of water and Baykeeper’s primary role is to protect the waters of the San Francisco Bay. There is a vibrant, web palette and then a darker, CMYK palette for print. The concept of the campaign visuals is a digital glitch or TV wave signifying that sea life is disappearing because of pollution. The vibrant color palette and the monospace type were chosen to reinforce this concept. Posters were designed both to stand alone and to live as a large set together, plastered on a wall.
