Ineffective Erosion Control, Market Street.

Ineffective Erosion Control Measures on the Daimler Market Street Project, New Albany, Ohio
Background
During the summer of 2014, the Daimler corporation expanded development of the Village of New Albany's Market Street commercial district without proper controls against erosion.  After initial complaints to the village were met with inaction, I photographed the failures of their sediment controls and presented them in a brochure to village officials, the State of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, and the Friends of the Blacklick Creek.  The site was brought into compliance, and the photographs were featured in the local paper, This Week In New Albany.
Considerations
In creating the brochure, I strove for clarity and simplicity since the work was digitally distributed and I had no guarantee of the recipient's screen quality, or whether or not they chose to print the work.  To that end, descriptions, detail shots, and broader context-setting images were visually linked by color coding.  The photographs were given the most room out of all the components of the design for a more visceral impact.
