In the fall semester of 2018, students in two sections of a beginning graphic design course produced an exhibit of posters having to do with animal forms, in the context of the artwork of a North Carolina-based artist named Anne Lemanski. Reproduced here are about half of all the results. Twenty-five of these were on display for two months (November through December 2018) at the Hartman Reserve Nature Center in Cedar Falls IA.

Henry David Thoreau—
I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance than I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.

Keith Waterhouse—
I wonder what it’s like to be a tortoise. Not a barrel of laughs, I shouldn’t imagine. You can’t be frivolous if you’re a tortoise, can you? And think of the danger of being turned into a pair of hair-brushes…But you do have a home to go to.
