‘Unwrap the World From Environmental Debt’ VCD3 Assignment One- ‘Debt’ Thea Darnell S2716072
THE IDEA: to create a sustainable and socially responsible design addressing environmental debt to create a design that not only informs about the THE OBJECTIVE: problem but also provides a solution an info graphic, a logo, a poster, packaging, stickers and THE SOLUTION: a garden plan
ENVIRONMENTAL DEBT: is the debt that we, as consuming human beings, have incurred because the devastating effects we have had on the world. CARBON SEQUESTRATION: is the capture and storage of CO 2 from the atmosphere with the purpose of minimising global warming. -Sullivan, L A, Et al. 2004 Key Elements of Design
The Logo • Inspired by the huge environmental debt that is entrapping the world • Creates a feeling of chaos surrounding the world • A striking image that aims to promote intrigue and further thought on enviromental debt

The Garden • Located at the Powerhouse Brisbane • Plants are the best at Carbon Sequestration - helping the environmental debt problem • Garden beds are made from plantation pine • The info graphic is made from 150mm hardwearing perspects (for longevity) and attached to the walls with rust proof steel bolts
• Brisbane Powerhouse is the perfect location for the ‘Unwrap the Debt’ garden • The industrial backdrop is the perfect juxtaposition • This location will result in support from the Powerhouse, through money, contacts and advertising
W E O H R T L P D A F R R W O N M U E T N B E V D I R L O A N T N M E Poster Design • Creates awareness for the ‘Unwrap the World from Environmental Debt’ Campaign 28th April 2012 • Creates awareness and inform people 10am-2pm of the day, 28th of April, to come and Brisbane Power House Museum learn about environmental debt and what www.unwraptheworld.com they can do to help the problem at the garden
