Jude Landry is a graphic designer and professor at UNT’s College of Visual Arts & Design who specializes in branding, lettering & illustration. This poster was created in 2010 to raise awareness of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The image shows a large octopus/sea monster (personification of the oil spill) rising from the depths, with a deadly grip on the Gulf states. These states, damaged by the oil spill, have put themselves in harm’s way to help feed America’s need for oil. Landry wanted to advocate that while drilling in the Gulf creates jobs and helps serve our current energy needs, the damage done by this spill will cripple the fragile coastal region for many years.
Although this is Jude Landry’s only advocacy poster, I believe that it sends a strong message.
