Lamb SelfPortrait Propaganda




Artist statement: My inspiration for this propaganda poster was the ski mask ban in Philadelphia, which started in December 2023. This was put into effect due to all the stealing from retail stores going on which caused some locations of stores like Walmart and CVS to close their doors to the city of Philadelphia. I believe stealing is wrong and we must do everything in our power to keep it from turning into a problem such as wearing a ski mask while entering a private business or school area. I do not believe that ski masks should be banned for good as they do serve a purpose in things such as winter sports and Halloween costumes. The reason I chose this particular type of propaganda is because my parents are small business owners who have been stolen from and it truly does have an effect on day-to-day business. I chose the colors grey blue and red to symbolize police colors and a jail cell as well as to catch the eye of somebody walking by as blue and red are popping colors. When people see this poster I want them to think about what stealing from somebody does to the person who is stolen from.

Lamb_Calligramme

Artist statement: I was asked to make a letter to my future self and create a calligramme out of it. A calligramme is words formed in a way to make a shape, usually relating to the writing.

By including this I wanted to make it clear that I do not want to be handed anything and want to grow my business my own way and shape. The tools I used to make this were the text tool in Illustrator, the rectangle tool, and the pen tool to make alignments. Although it may look a little bland from the outside, the inside tells a story of my hopes and dreams. letter to me Dear future self, I hope this letter finds you in a state of peace, surrounded by the co...

portfolio artist statement

Artist statement: This project was fun to make and had me dig deep into my creativity. This class has taught me more useful skills on a computer in 4 months than I have learned my whole life. Coming in I knew nothing about Adobe or its products but I slowly learned how to use them proficiently. I used a simple template for my portfolio so that my artwork would be the main story, not the background. You can see through the portfolio my projects slowly getting better and I am proud of myself for that. My main goal this semester was to learn something new and I believe I have achieved that with FMX-210. Thank you, Professor Roundtree. Template used and modified- Adobe Stock_501401895
