As part of the graphics program, GT was a part of the effort to develop a species identification system for the Aquarium.

Illustrating the different species was ultimately chosen, to create consistent ways to showing the fishes and animals. This is an example of trying a side view of the snail, and using a watercolor and color pencil technique.

Experiments in density of color, detail and simplification, boldness of the technique, time required, translation to backlit media were tried. Also the ground was left off this version. Others included this plus background and plants.
