After my first sketches for a "teaser" poster, I digitized the blue poison frog pattern by manipulating a photo of coffee in photoshop:
Later I also did some experiments with stripes on paper.
This allowed me to demonstrate that it is not always the danger colors that signal something, but the patterns.
Neon screenprinting experiments
I eventually translated all these experiments into sticker labels for cans. Due to the striking yellow/black combination, a discarded can will stand out much faster.
Information is also provided about the "toxicity" of the can contamination.
