Public Disruption

Using what I already created in my Sophomore Studio project as a bounce pad, I pivoted off into a tangent venture that was inspired by the events surrounding protesting injustice despite being in a pandemic and the 2020 Presidential Election, creating propaganda signs that were meant to use what I learned in subvertising in order to manipulate the same tactics of political campaigns in order to form my own voice in the midst of the disorder spreading through our nation. The point was to try and make sense out of everything that was being pumped out of the media into the public, but really, the point was to answer “how can this work galvanize me and the people around me to act/create work”? At first, they were a list of potential poster ideas, but once I started to see my thoughts build up in quantity, they began to take on a different meaning and form. This is when I started to get more abstract with how I translated my thoughts; an example of this is how I would take a thought, boil it down by stripping away details such as descriptive words, playing with the main idea, and ultimately, create a message that could plant itself in the mind of the viewer.
