Earth Day

A vintage newspaper-style promotional poster for an Earth Day Celebration event on April 15, 2026. The design mimics an old newspaper front page with "BREAKING NEWS" and "SPECIAL EDITION" banners at the top. The headline reads "Earth Day" in ornate gothic lettering, followed by "Greg Wilson Mantilla" in cursive script and "EVOLUTION" in large bold letters. The subheading states "ECHOES OF EXTINCTION, WARNINGS FOR TODAY." The poster features a central photograph of a bearded man in a baseball cap and sunglasses standing in a badlands landscape. Two text boxes on either side describe his research on life rebounding after the K-Pg extinction event and how his work connects fossil records to modern questions about climate change and conservation. The bottom of the poster displays three keywords: "FOSSILS," "RESILIENCE," and "CHANGE," separated by decorative asterisks. The motto "DIG! DISCOVER! DEFEND!" appears twice in boxed sections.
