Social Awareness Poster

While creating this social awareness campaign, I thought of the problems that were currently occurring in our society. Brett Kavanaugh and his trial surrounding sexual harassment were going on during this time and I thought it was fitting to create a poster about the movement. I realized that Kavanaugh wasn’t the only focus of the movement and created a poster to focus on the more general idea of politics. I used the masking technique on the background to emphasize the hands rising up from the movement. I created all the different types of hands based on one hand image. I then created a masked background of the White House to emphasize the political scandals that have occurred surrounding sexual harassment. I masked the background so it didn’t distract from the overall meaning of the piece. The fists on both sides are coming down on the White House representing the power of women rising up. I paid attention to the design principles of contrast, proximity, and balance in creating this piece. The image is 17 by 11 in, RGB mode, and 150 PPI.
