THE COMPETITION
On September 16, 2017, the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer, known as “the single most successful international environmental agreement to date” will celebrate its 30th anniversary. This date coincides with the international day for the preservation of the ozone layer; the United nations commemorative day that marks the date when the treaty was established in 1987. The poster should highlight the worldwide efforts to protect the ozone layer and to combat climate change. Also, it should emphasize on how the protection of the stratospheric ozone layer under the Montreal Protocol has impacted human lives, and how Montreal Protocol contributed to the fight against climate change.

THE PROJECT
The gradient background represents the temperature color spectrum of the earth. In addition, the axis on the bottom shows the lowest, average and highest earth temperatures ever recorded. This subtly points out to the issue of global warming. on the right side, a timeline displays the Montreal Protocol’s 30 years journey as well as the 30 years to come. The universal individual is shown stripped to the core. The poster shows an individual who is vulnerable and hugely affected by the ozone hole. a visualization of the hole is placed at the level of the individual’s brains to show how it is an integral part of his being. Accordingly, without the ozone hole, you are whole.
