Don’t Trash Nevada Inspires Graphic Design Student

The Don’t Trash Nevada messaging campaign is informing and inspiring. A student studying graphic design at the College of Southern Nevada had a class project to create an advertisement with a cause. Jose Ybarra chose to raise awareness by creating a wallpaper to advocate recycling and reusing to keep Nevada a clean place. We are pleased to introduce Jose and his work.

Hi, my name is Jose Ybarra and I am currently studying graphic design at CSN. I created this wallpaper to raise awareness about recycling, which is one of the ways to help keep Nevada a clean place. I used photographs of our beautiful scenery including Lake Mead, Red Rock, and the Mojave Desert to display all the landscapes that make up Nevada. The wallpaper states to Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce in effort to create less waste that would end up in our dump. On the left margin it displays the various products that are able to be recycled and in turn make Nevada a cleaner place for generations to come. Through creating a wallpaper that will hopefully catch Nevadan’s attention, we can all do our part to maintain this delicate state we call home.
