Layers of Life
National Geographic Magazine, Washington, District of Columbia, 1995
Description
The rainforest canopy represents an abundance of life, but photographs rarely show little more than a tangled riot of green. By categorizing the kinds of plants and animals found on a typical tree branch, the designers not only sorted the jumble into understandable fragments, but made sense of the canopy’s varied ecological relationships and survival strategies.
