Dog is a man’s best friend and an even better family member. Even though we know that a dog plays an integral part in a family, there are many dogs that are abandoned and waiting for an opportunity to show their affection and love.
For my project, I promoted an adoption campaign for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (SpcaLA) animal shelter in Long Beach by utilizing the Lenticular technique. The technique’s movement is to portray the playfulness and loving nature of the dogs in order to create an interaction and a connection with the audience.
In addition, I made a poster series with a QR code so that the audience can get more information about the dogs through the SpcaLA animal shelter’s database to potentially adopt them.
Home is where the dogs are.
