Project to respond on the brief of “Treespond has tracked quotes from Mr Trump and evaluated them on a scale of how ignorant the organisation perceives the statements to be. The more ignorant Treespond rates a statement, the more trees it supports to be planted for that particular quote.” On this project I used Twitter ́s logo to build the Trump face as a concept, using blending colours and vector graphics.
