Propaganda Poster          This is a propaganda poster. I took a picture of myself and then used it as a reference for a portrait made in illustrator. I attempted to go for a minimalistic aesthetic while still retaining the detail. To make it into propaganda, I added the dress shoe looming large behind me. My message was intended to be that people should never be complacent when the autocratic power of capitalists looms over us all. Original Reference Image

  Logo Color             This is a logo meant to represent myself. I used the imagery of a combined form of the genderqueer and the agender symbols. Gender personally means a lot to me so I wanted a representation of myself to be a representation of that. Additionally, the upside-down triangle is an allusion to the symbol used by Nazis to brand gay men and trans women, which has since been reclaimed by queer activists as a symbol for resistance. The symbol I am alluding to is pink which is why I used pink in my colored versions. I tried to keep the logo simple and I believe I succeeded. Sketch Images

               This project was a calligram, or an image made out of text. The text was a letter to my future self. Or rather, it started as a letter and devolved into an opportunity to wax poetic about positive and negative liberty. As the theme throughout the letter was of liberty and freedoms, I went for the imagery of an arm grasping a flag. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the calligram, primarily employing the "Type on Path" and "Envelope Distort" tools. It cumulatively took about 4 to 5 hours to create. While there are some problems, I am pleased with how this project came out. Reference Image: Letter to the Future (Text Used in the Calligram): Dear Sage of the future, I hope this letter finds you at a time where fascism is not breathing down the necks of effectively everywhere on Earth but realistically that will not be for a long time. There are many things which I hope for you. I hope for you to embrace a love for humanity and community. I hope for you
