Alligators? Pythons? Oh my!
TED-Ed reached out to us to help bring to life an animated educational film about the Florida Everglades. This incredible ecosystem is not only teeming with wildlife, but it's also facing a big challenge with invasive species. Alligators, once again, are battling their way to the top of the food chain. 🐊


Design
Designing with scientific accuracy can be tricky, but we got creative! We gathered tons of references for alligators, the Everglades, and Florida to help strike the perfect balance between artistic freedom and staying true to the facts.



Color
The colors in Florida are unlike anything else. From the swamps to the sunsets, it’s a vibrant palette specific to its geography. For this project, we wanted to capture that unique beauty, so we embraced rich, saturated colors to bring Florida’s essence to life.
