After hearing the news of the tragic events in Boston, I felt I had to do something. I came out with this design to express my support and honor the victims and their families.

Declared by the United Nations General Assembly, this new global celebration of forests builds on the successes of the International Year of Forests in 2011, and provides a platform to raise awareness of the importance of all types of forests and of trees outside forests in our lives.
The logo recreates the silhouette of a tree by combining different icons depicting the multiple values of forests: They provide shelter and habitat to people, in addition to biodiversity, food, medicine, clean water and a stable global environment.
Activities expected to take place on the International Day of Forests include tree-planting and other community-level events, and national celebrations including art, photo and film as well as social media outreach.
Establecidad por una resolución de la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, esta nueva celebración mundial de los bosques -generada a partir del éxito del Año Internacional de los Bosques en 2011- provee una plataforma para generar conciencia de la importancia de los bosques en nuestras vidas.
Los bosques generan refugio y habitat para una gran cantidad de gente, ademas de biodiversidad , comida, medicinas, agua pura medio ambiente global estable.
Diseño del logo / La solución fue recrear la silueta de un árbol a través de la combinación de diferentes íconos que representen los múltiples valores de los bosques, señalando la necesidad de una prespectiva de 360 grados sobre los recursos que provee. El tamaño y la posición central de la figura humana con los brazos elevados refuerza el eslogan de la campaña “Celebrando los bosques para la gente”.
Gobiernos y organizaciones no-gubernamentales son alentados a organizar actividades locales, nacionales e internacionales que promuevan los bosques, como campañas para sembrar árboles y otras actividades relacionadas que fomenten la participación del público.
Poster designed for the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust – 27 January
The inspiration for the design was to merge a symbol of atrocity and one of hope. The transformation from barbed wired to intertwined roses depicts a commitment to the future and conveys a message of remembrance.
