Hilppa Hyrkäs

Hilppa Hyrkäs is an Art Director from Finland. She designed this poster about climate change in 2006 and named it “Stop Climate Change.”

She thought mostly about what climate change is and how it affects the environment, the weather, health, and economy. When piecing together this poster, she took these ideas to create a simple yet effective piece. Polar bears are highly effected by climate change, as their entire environment is ruined if it isn’t cold enough for them to live. The melting of the ice caused by climate change has led Hyrkäs to take an image shaped like a polar bear to represent the ice, and have it breaking into pieces, just like the large sheets of ice are breaking.
