Quick & Easy Contest!

So this contest will be both quick and easy to do! In short I am making a poster for one of my art classes, but a lot of times my ideas frankly suck. Therefor I will use one of my resources and see if any one on VP has ideas that could be used. Now then, at the end there will be TWO finished posters that will be up for full res DL from my gallery (so print them on shirts, hang on your bedroom wall what ever!) I will also be seeing about sending them to any wildlife conservation services that will take them for free. I specifically chose two animals that are little known, though you should recognize one :3 <br><br>Now then you will NOT be drawing anything for this contest, that is my job. Just bouncing ideas for how the poster could look! I don't want it to look like any of the current conservation posters that are out there because I want to show my own unique style and design.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">What you do:</span><br>Come up with ideas for a poster for one of the endangered animals listed below.
