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.

Business Card

Using InDesign, I was able to incorporate deep symbolism into each design to create personal business cards that truly reflected who I am. The first card represents the light I bring into people's lives; it has a captivating eye. My presence brings joy and support, much like the eye is a window to the soul. The vivid green color represents my name, Jaide, like the priceless Jade stone. The second card, with the initials "JG," pays tribute to my ancestry and my great-great-grandmother's name Georgiane. Finally, the third card's bright blue color represents my zodiac sign, Pisces, which is a sensitive and adaptable water sign. These cards were mostly created by hand using InDesign's rectangle tool to create the color backgrounds. In order to achieve the ideal colors and make sure every shade had the intended meaning, the Adobe Color Wheel was essential. Using the fill Gradient tool to provide depth and dimension, the second card's design was a particularly ...

I've discovered that some tools in Adobe InDesign are simpler to use than others. For example, the Text Tool is really easy to use and will make it simple for me to add and format text in my layouts. Making aesthetic changes to fonts, sizes, and colors is a straightforward and intuitive way to create visually beautiful text elements. In a similar vein, the Shape Tool will be simple to use and allow me to rapidly add forms like circles and rectangles to my designs. But I might run into some difficulties, especially with the Pen Tool and other similar tools. I know it can be used to create unique shapes and paths once I get better at it, but it takes accuracy and practice to master. Using Adobe InDesign can significantly enhance my graphic design business by leveraging its comprehensive set of tools. With features like the Text Tool, I can efficiently create and format text elements, allowing me to produce visually engaging designs with ease. Additionally, the Shape Tool enables me...
