Design Practice 1 - Stamp It // Endangered animal research


Animals are another thing I feel strongly about, so I thought for the imagery of the stamp, will be about Standby power,  showing animals that are effected by global warming, If i produce the stamps to communicate the problem as well as the effect of the problem the it may lead people to 

1. pay more attention to the message
2. React to the message to help make a difference.

i found a list of the top 14 endangered species due to Global warming as well as the reason why global warming is effecting their existence.

Here is the list 





























Obviously the Polar bear is incorporated into this group, but it seems any form of information about endangered species and global warming, is visualised mainly by a Polar bear. However This may not be a bad thing, It means that the Polar bear is an instantly recognizable animal by most people in the world. if i do decided to use a Polar bear in the stamp design, then at least people would clearly understand the message that is being portraited.
 If I use a different animal from this list, people may have either never seen the species before OR not understand that they are endangered due to global warming.
