Propaganda Poster

My own experience with the Brachial Plexus, a born with injury that causes disabilities, served as the basis for my propaganda poster. Growing up with this hidden disability, I carried a weight that most people didn't notice as I went through life. I used to keep my illness a secret until I realized how little other people saw my problems. But as the years went by, I realized how powerful telling my story could be. I found the proverb "Not all Disabilities are Visible" to be incredibly meaningful; it served as an important reminder that many wars are fought in silence.

I created a special phrase that perfectly expresses the essence of my journey, which is one of resiliency, strength, and the significance of recognizing invisible hardships, since I wanted to deliver this message in my own special way. By promoting a more compassionate and inclusive society, I wish to increase awareness of and understanding for the many people who deal with hidden obstacles through this poster.

Original Self Portrait

Self-Portrait

Using Adobe Illustrator, this propaganda self-portrait was carefully created, with each unique feature in the picture being precisely highlighted with the pen tool. A sophisticated portrayal of the subject was made possible by the deliberate use of several layers for distinct features during the development process. From body curves to facial expressions, every feature was painstakingly created with an eye toward creative expression and authenticity. The eyedropper tool played a crucial role in producing a realistic representation of my skin tone by accurately capturing and applying the appropriate color palette. I was able to realize my concept by using a combination of complex layering and the adaptable tools provided by Adobe Illustrator, making sure that every component of the poster added to the overall powerful message.

BW to Color

The strong emotional connection this image embodies led to the choice to colorize it from black and white. It was taken at a special photo session with my mother and captures the love, enduring bond, and trust that exist between us. When the artwork was first created in black and white, it had depth and inspiration that never went out of style. However, adding color again gave it fresh vibrancy and made the scene happier and more cheery. The vivid colors not only made the scene more visually appealing but also reflected the warmth and excitement that filled our relationship, turning a lovely moment into a spectacular celebration of connection and love.
