CONTEXT
The first images are posters, presenting certain speakers that are going to talk during Earth Day at Parsons school for Design. The photographies are of the actual event either in preparation or already started. Neo Inflato poster was confusing, but may connect to the inflatable tubes seen in the photography.
A short description on the posters, about what the event entitled, would be very helpful to further understand the topics and issues that were going to be discussed.
