Birds of the Galapagos

Over the summer, a friend and I planned on collaborating to produce a small educational zine. Originally, our idea was to base it on an area of Vietnam where much of the flora and fauna are at risk and it would feature an odd looking primate named the Tonkin Snub-nosed monkey. However, we changed our mind once Katie had bought me a book about the Galapagos for my birthday and looking through it, decided to theme the zine on the birds that inhabit the islands. In past projects at Uni, if animals were involved I've always tried to focus on the lesser known just to highlight that there are other obscure creatures in the world that aren't as popular as Pandas or Tigers, some equally or considerably more endangered. The collages in the images are my creation and the text is that of fellow Illustration graduate and close friend, Katie Allen.
