Final Project Statement
With this final project I want to explore ideas related to femininity and female health. I would like to create a design using imagery that represents these concepts. This imagery will include the venus symbol and will likely be accompanied by naturalistic elements and female anatomy, among other things. I plan to use photoshop layers and composition with creative coding to create a GIF. My intention with this project is to create something meaningful and beautiful that also includes commentary about the current events relating to Roe vs Wade. I don't enjoy discussing politics, but to me, female health is not a political issue and should not be treated as such. I have several ideas of how I might represent this with my design but I have not decided yet. What I have decided however is to explore an important topic that I am incredibly passionate about.
What a great start. I would recommend thinking about this project as a group (or campaign) of products. It might be that your layers and manipulations would work great as a large-scale poster design, then could be adapted into a GIF as well. When a sensitive designer puts their attention toward such an important issue, it can elucidate the various factors and perspectives for an ambivalent audience in a way that politicians never could. Art is a powerful tool. I can image a campaign in which various versions of the same thematic image aesthetics exist as a package, potentially along with written captions or textual information. Looking forward to checking in on it tomorrow!
