A while back, DG profiled a stunning series of re-imagined posters for cult classic films from the 80s. The design team behind them are back with a completely different project that has translated digitized art into the natural world.

Van Orton (comprised of a set of twin brothers Stefano and Marco Schiavon, who hail from Turin, Italy), have teamed up with a racing team with a moniker appropriate for our prescient times. 11th Hour racing is hoping to raise awareness of the current perils facing our world’s oceans.  With a crack design team like Van Orton, it’s near impossible to ignore the magnificent results.

A recent study found that 50% of coral reefs are damaged in a mere seven decades.  With our reliance on the ocean for sustainability and survival at the forefront, it’s never been more important than now to support initiatives to preserve the ocean and reverse the damage.
