Kentaneisha crafted a 3d papier-mâché world, using colored recycled paper to create the countries. Visuals like this will help draw attention to recycling areas.

Hand-cut type provides an interesting visual for this recycle sign.

Plastic recycling areas are indicated by blue collage. This poster highlights the fact that sleeping bags can be made of used plastic bottles.

Paper recycling areas are indicated by green collage. This poster highlights the fact that handbags can be made from recycled paper.

Aluminum recycling areas are indicated by red collage. This poster highlights the fact that furniture can be made from recycled aluminum.

Stanton High School has a recycling program, but it is underutilized. Students often sit on top of bins or throw their recyclables in the incorrect containers. As a member of the recycling club, Kentaneisha wanted to raise awareness about these issues, encouraging greater compliance and enthusiasm.

A coordinated poster campaign highlights new items that can be created with recyclables; humorous, colorful imagery and hand-cut bin signage help capture attention. A color-coded system and bins made of their respective materials clearly differentiate aluminum, plastic, and paper recycling areas.
