Project details

What we need
  • A high-resolution digital version of an illustration that can be used across multiple channels (web, print, and/or merchandising)
Additional details

The purpose is to capture the spirit of "From the soil, to the skies, we CAN do this," i.e., we *can* create a sustainable world, with the help of systems thinking, by embracing complexity and uncertainty and the unpredictability of life (as opposed to dumbing it all down). I have a specific illustration in mind.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a few images, and some inspirational ones, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have more ideas for how to inform the illustration, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,187 , allowing us to continue operating! This project simply isn't in our budget and would therefore be unlikely in the absence of your professional help.

"Systems thinking" is perennially extraordinarily challenging to convey to others. Inspired by systems thinking itself, I'm turning to images as a way to more subtly inform the psyche of the power and importance of systems thinking, and its direct relevance to social and ecological sustainability, with a spiritual flavor.

Nicole was thoughtful, creative, and engaged with my project, and she knows her field. Her insights helped to move the project forward step by step, without getting overwhelmed with the options and possibilities.
