Endangered Animal Atlas: Bilingual Educational Posters Promoting Conservation and Language Skills

Vahid Mirzaei's Endangered Animal Atlas project has received the prestigious Silver A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award for 2025, recognizing its unique approach to education and conservation. Developed for the National Language Learning Institute, the project features 52 digitally illustrated posters, each depicting an endangered animal alongside its English name and conservation status. The initiative aims to foster environmental consciousness while supporting English language acquisition among Persian speakers.

Inspired by the urgent need to protect endangered species and the effectiveness of visual learning, Mirzaei's design leverages research in visual memory and bilingual education. The two-color, minimalistic digital paintings ensure clarity and focus, making each animal instantly recognizable and the learning process engaging. The selection of 52 animals highlights global biodiversity, encouraging users to expand their vocabulary while deepening their understanding of conservation issues.

The Endangered Animal Atlas stands out for its interactive educational approach, allowing users to visually associate animal illustrations with English terminology. This step-by-step method reinforces memory retention and creates a meaningful connection between language learning and environmental stewardship. The project's technical specifications-100cm x 100cm posters at 300 dpi in CMYK-ensure high-quality, impactful visuals suitable for educational settings. By blending artistic simplicity with detailed representation, Mirzaei has crafted a tool that is both aesthetically appealing and pedagogically effective.

Mirzaei's achievement with the Endangered Animal Atlas not only celebrates artistic innovation but also underscores the importance of integrating social themes into educational materials. The Silver A' Design Award recognizes the project's outstanding expertise, technical excellence, and its ability to inspire positive change through design.
