This graphic design is a piece done by Marian Bantjes used to advertise environmentalism for Yale University. This piece represents my interest in not only design but in illustration as well. I have always loved technical drawing using various mediums of charcoal, pencil, and pen and ink. Designer Bantjes shows themes of foliage which are my favorite things to draw as well. I like to draw organic, abstract things that has to do with nature and microbiology. She creates the illusion of depth with the perspective of top view using a fusion of several depth cues. First, she overlaps the large words over buildings and people to show how far away they are from each other. To exaggerate the largeness, she draws the people extra tiny relative to the buildings. Lastly she gives a darker tone to the things underneath the the buildings to emphasize the tallness of it. The dark shades push the people and the ground away from the viewer giving the illusion of the buildings to "pop out".
