Project Overview

This project is a digital photo manipulation featuring a bottlenose dolphin leaping out of a plastic water bottle in a vast green field at sunset. The image creates a sense of wonder and absurdity through the juxtaposition of the natural world (dolphin) and human impact (plastic bottle).

Designer’s Thought Process

• Concept Development:

  • The designer likely aimed to spark conversation about environmental issues, particularly human impact on marine life.
  • The image highlights the potential consequences of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems.
  • Alternatively, it could be a commentary on how we keep some wild animals (like dolphins in aquariums) in unnatural environments.

• Element Selection:

  • Dolphin: Bottlenose dolphins are a recognizable and playful choice, adding whimsy to the scene and representing the beauty of the natural world.
  • Plastic Water Bottle: A common symbol of human consumption and disposable culture, highlighting the contrasting element to the dolphin.
  • Field and Sunset: The open field creates a contrast between the natural world and the man-made element. The warm sunset adds a dreamlike quality, emphasizing the unusual scenario.
