NYC Public School Recycling Poster:
DESIGN to make a difference....
Poster design contest open to all Parsons Students: NYC needs your help! NYC public school students currently eat their lunch on polystyrene trays, which are thrown out every day and NEVER biodegrade. This amounts to 850,000 discarded per day or 153 million trays thrown out every year!
Through a Parsons led partnership, the Department of Education (DOE) is starting “Trayless Tuesdays” in March to reduce the amount of polystyrene waste by 20%. But the city needs DESIGN to help get kids, teachers and parents on board! The DOE would like to put posters raising awareness in all NYC public schools to support the initiative and promote further recycling in the cafeteria.
Details/Rules:
*All posters must be: -18” x 24”
full color or b/w -portrait or landscape
*There are two poster types:
A. for grades K-8
B. for high school students
*research your audience: what will grab kids attention in a school cafeteria? How can you use imagery to change behavior patterns around waste?
*research the problem: in order to spread awareness, you must be know the issues! Check out the references: www.sosnyc.org
*Your design must NOT include your name on the piece.
*Remember your client- its SCHOOL! Use correct grammar and consider learning points.
*Students whose poster concept is chosen, will be required to sign a release prior to printing.
