Humans are incredibly wasteful. Whether its tossing out a couple of cans of food that just went bad or throwing recyclable plastic into a black garbage bin, we often discard valuable resources that can be saved or reused.

Plastic Beach is a project that takes these wasted resources and virtually "recycles" them by making them into new pieces of art. The final work will be a zine consisting of artwork created only using imagery and photography of resources that can be considered trash or recycling.

Examples of this are seen in the proposed cover of the zine above:

• Background: Close up of a distorted plastic bottle

• "Beach" ground: Trash on the shore of a beach

• Subject: Man suffocating from plastic bag over his face

• Stickers: Recycled clippings from old newspapers and magazines

• Sun: Old rubber ball I found under my bed

Each page will follow this format and create imagery to accompany a discussion about human wastefulness.
