Informational panel for Botanical Garden Cluj

I’m ready to finish my latest work for Botanical Garden Cluj.  SOR Romania and Botanical Garden agreed to exhibit an informational panel about birds in the Cluj-Napoca Botanical Garden, officially Alexandru Borza Cluj-Napoca University Botanic Garden.

The info-board is presenting the four season in the birds life and how people can help them. In urban environment the cut down trees, the pollution is all in the disadvantage of birds, derogating their habitats. As friends of birds we can help birds to settle in our garden.

The  info-board size is 120x90mm, will be printed on outdoor inkjet media.
