So-Cal Wildfire Poster Project

Posters, Public Service

Donated by designers and artists around the globe, posters sold at the So-Cal Fire Poster Project raise funds for victims of the wildfires that devastated Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego Counties in 2007. Modeled after the Hurricane Poster Project, an effort started for victims of Hurricane Katrina, all proceeds are donated to the Salvation Army, for the 2007 California Wildfire fund.

This poster, created by Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based Work to Date, commemorates those affected by the fires and portrays the destruction with a photographic composition of textures (burnt paper, water stains, ash and grit) juxtaposed by beautiful illustrations of new signs of life and an emboss to highlight the bird. The text sprinkled throughout the poster is facts relating to the fires.

The poster was printed in a limited-edition, four-color process, offset on Mohawk Superfine Softwhite Recycled Smooth 80 lb cover, with a finished size of 24" X 36".
