Fearless 2020

 

This photo montage is meant to demonstrate and bring attention to the idea that the republicans and current administration are rolling over the rights of women and minorities at an alarming rate.  

 

The raging bull of Wall Street represents the capitalist system that puts profits over human lives. The girl, our youth, standing up to how things have been, and to the failures of my generation (gen x). 

 

The news has changed so much since we started this assignment, I had to stop myself from continuing to put more and more examples on each side. As it stands, I think I may have gone too far!

 

I chose the “amber waves of grain” background of the heartland that supports these policies, it replaces the view of the city. I chose all women to represent the defense of liberty and justice, because it will be the women who will stop this madness. That idea challenges that status quo a bit. I also chose to leave off a representation of Biden simply because these women need no male champion, even though the man on the bottom left is fighting to wrestle the flag from a racist.

 

I would imagine this to be placed on a blog post or atop an article relating to the politics of the 2020 election.

Social Awareness Poster - Part 2 - Revised

Image
 EDIT: I've re-worked this poster at the request of the professor. Admittedly, I ran out of time and settled for less than I should have. Here is the one I was working on before deciding to go with the original version below. The theme is the same. It is a complex issue to explain simply and it just was not coming to me.  This more reflects my vision for this project. Thank you for the feedback and encouraging me to finish what I started. I tried to use the shapes and the right words to create the idea of the circle generated from unlimited amounts of data, unlimited processing power, and using behavioral psychology to drive behavior. Just as we are using gestalt principles to get our point across, more advanced methods are now used to create psychological profiles that predict behavior, and get people to take actions they would not normally take, whether it is purchasing an item, or driving a political agenda.   For this poster, I chose the theme of online and social media privac

Book Cover Design - Part 1

 This project asks me to re-imagine a recently read book. I have chosen It Is All Right by Isabel M. Hickey. I love this book and have read it many times. It is currently out of print. I was able to obtain a few copies in the early 2000's from Isabel's daughter, Helen, who had continued the company after her mother's death. It is a self-published book and has a leather cover with gold inlay print. Very simple.    In the first sketches, I imagined doing a similar cover, adding color and depth to the gold star on the original. I did not want to change the symbol as it has meaning. The first sketch shows the words representing the meaning of each spike and I also imagined adding the text. The third sketch, would place a depiction of the Tarot card "The Fool" with the text of the title superimposed over the card.                           The fifth sketch imagines "the fool" walking up a mountain, and I toyed with using a sunburst and a sunset, all images d
