Classes Poster TrioThis school assignment, to choose three classes offered at Seattle Central Community College. I chose the introductory courses of Philosophy, Psychology and Political Science. The concept behind the campaign: Thought and how each discipline views the human nature.
Classes Poster TrioThe fourth poster. At the critique, many expressed a lack of understanding with the philosophy poster. The symbolism of the empty jar was vague. I had to come up with a new idea. Word choice was crucial. I was reading a book of poems at the time, when the word “antidote” jumped out at me.

Poster for Tomorrowrendering
Poster for TomorrowI wanted to appeal to the imagination of the viewer and communicate with metaphor. I wanted them to get a sense of what homelessness is like. The desire of a home and the danger and expsosure of the homeless are the primary themes of the poster.
