Coastal Ecology Archive Exhibition Poster

Exhibition poster for a coastal natural-history archive, combining geometric slicing, archival field-notes aesthetics, and muted Pacific Northwest ecology imagery. Vertical 3:4 layout on an off-white aged paper background with subtle stains, print grain, and screen-printed halftone texture. Overall mood is quiet, restrained, scientific, and museum-like. Layout and Composition: Asymmetrical collage grid with overlapping translucent rectangular slices. The left half is dominated by a large monochrome coastal landscape photo showing a rocky ocean shore, low surf, misty cliffs, and dark evergreen trees. The right half contains open negative space and the main headline. A horizontal translucent sage-green band crosses the title area. Thin technical registration marks, dotted measurement lines, small crosses, and faint grid ticks appear throughout.
