Abstract
One world is an online web journal that explores some of the effects of climate change in Oregon through environmental renders, as well as, provides information and resources to help educate for a better future. The information collected is to remind the viewer that there are positive solutions and efforts coming from community members.
The project focuses on two locations, The Columbia River Gorge and Neskowin beach. The Columbia River Gorge renders focus on regrowth after the damages from wildfires. Neskowin focuses erosion from the rising sea levels. There are two motion graphic videos that combine the renders for each location which has sound that I recorded at each location.
I hope that you will feel inspired about the future and learn at least one thing. This is a call to action, but also a way to document my personal experience and journey through the development of this project!
Artist Statement
My name is Lizzy Whitney and I’m Graphic Design major at Pacific Northwest College of Art.
I’m always inspired by the outside-of-the-box thinking, community collaboration, and personal touches that go into each project, whether it’s for a client or a personal project. I learn a lot by looking at and trying to figure out the decisions that were made by others so that in the future I can apply those thoughts to try and improve my own projects.
My work is based in typography, image making, geometry, 3D and motion. I love bringing fun and color into my designs as well as communicating an idea through my work. I hope to turn concepts into cool designs and keep growing with every opportunity I have! I enjoy being friendly, funny, and hardworking!
Outside from being a designer, I love nature, friends, music, fashion and meeting new people :)
