Outside Chronicles Spring Birding Challenge Patch and Decal
This patch and sticker design was created for Outside Chronicles x Buffalo Audubon's Spring Birding Challenge. I had a 9 color limit for the patch which was produced at 3 inches by 3 inches. The patch and decal was given to all participants who completed the tasks of the challenge.
An earlier version of the design featured just the female warbler on the nest, but I wanted to include the strikingly recognizable plumage of a male Hooded Warbler too.
For this design, it was important to me that the bird I chose was one that spent the duration of the challenge on its breeding territory at Buffalo Audubon's preserve. It was also important to me that i include a nod to the final year of the citizen science projects, the NYS Breeding Bird Atlas.
To do this I chose a nesting pair of Hooded Warblers with the female warbler on the nest.
I varied the decal design slightly to allow the leaves to break the border and create a more lively composition.
