What the Tide Leaves Has Layers

A portrait research-teaser campaign for the School of Underlying Conditions, built around its soil-survey description of one winter's bank of stranded kelp

A marketing poster for the School of Underlying Conditions places one of the School's published papers on the University's signage rotation: a winter beach at low water, a profile pit cut square through the strand-line kelp and a surveyor at its edge, under six words of display type and the paper's title and identifier. Prepared for the portrait panels in matched daylight and evening renderings.
