Block the Path to Deforestation
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I feel that environmental issues are one of the great challenges we face as a collective, and deforestation is one of, if not the biggest contributors to those issues.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW? While it includes a specific real world example of deforestation, my goal wasn\u27t to single out a specific area but to express that it can realistically happen anywhere. The before photo can be interpreted to be anywhere the viewer imagines it to be
WHAT WAS YOUR TECHNIQUE/PROCESS? I searched through many sites and databases on deforestation until I found two photos from the same area both before and after the effects of deforestation. I edited them together in photoshop and included some more elements such as a red border, and text to add some more context to the overall poster.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1102/thumbnail.jp
Climate Justice Now
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? My subject for the poster is climate justice. Unlike many common issues, this phase maybe not that familiar to everyone. This is a reason I chose it because I want it to be disseminated.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? For the poster, I want to talk about people in different races, income brackets and national origins suffering unequal environmental crises. A basic proposition of climate justice is that those who are least responsible for climate change are suffering the most serious consequences. For example, in 1982, the EPA investigated four similar landfills in southern states and found that they were all located in black or lowincome neighborhoods. Moreover, the United Church of Christ Racial Justice Commission found that around the country hazardous waste facilities were more likely to be located in mostly minority communities.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? The black skin color and “child” symbolized vulnerability, while the United Church of Christ Racial Justice Commission found that around the country hazardous waste facilities were more likely to be located in mostly minority communities. The cracked ground which made people think of an environmental crisis is her skin and also represents that this could be what her home looks like. The color of the flower is going to be bright and the skin of the child is going to grey. Because I want to show that a beautiful sunflower makes a contrast with the child who looks pale and emphasizes the vulnerability of the child, or the people who are the victims of environmental injustice.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1035/thumbnail.jp

A Piece for the Disadvantaged Elder 1
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? My sister works in a retirement community, thankfully not one with a reputation to mistreat their elders. Since her tenure there, I\u27ve had wild visions of elders being taken advantage of, wether mentally or physically. Modern media certainly hasn\u27t helped at all when it comes to this disheartening subject. Hollywood, as always, takes a topic and glamorizes it, turns it into a desired money-making scheme. I think portrays in media and the lack of backlash from society regarding the topic of elder abuse is to be ashamed of. My goal was to inform those who weren\u27t already aware, and to inform to elder class of the problem and that they have the option to voice themselves if they feel they are being neglected.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? This piece was inspired by my sisters working at a retirement community and also Netflix\u27s film I Care A Lot which is a film that glamorizes and underplays the effects of elder abuse.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? This piece was done completely digitally. It combined photography and graphic design. I begin drafting this with simply a color scheme and typefaces. From there, I developed a vision and then combined the photography and my design abilities to create a set of three posters. Two are more powerful statements about the subject at hand, Elder Abuse, and the other features harrowing statistics.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1045/thumbnail.jp
