Final Project

It has often struck me that one of the bitterest ironies is the sheer multitude of people willing to ignore all manner of definitive fact are the same ones who never understand how we are failing to progress as a society and a nation. In reality, it is not wholly their fault, as there is an equally great number of sources vying for control in order to steer people away from facts. Facts seem to take second place when dealing with any topic now. You don’t want the facts to get in the way of the story. If facts are apparently so dangerous and malicious, why is nobody standing up to this deadly threat? Well, now someone has. With my project, I attempted to create a poster warning people away from the dangers of facts and malicious “truth”. In this obvious satire, I hope I can, at the very least, allow people to consider where the things they say come from.

Some finale notes

Here are the notes or sketches I did for the final project.

Some works in progress

Here are some earlier works in progress for project 4. These are some of the pre-print versions.

Some idea boards

These are just a couple of the idea boards for the project.

Some propaganda

Here are some of the propaganda posters relating to the concepts for my next project.

These first couple all fit the general style, although the second one is probably a modern-made satirical poster. It is slightly ironic, considering the topic I’m working on.

These next few all use the general color scheme I plan on using. There’s something very striking about red, yellow and black used together that looks quite intimidating. The last one also sort of relates to the concept, and it’s a favorite of mine due to its simplicity and memorability.

These last ones relate more with the idea, just in terms of broad message, being given by stern gentlemen or simple messages. Especially “HET!”. So direct.

Eschaton on Illustrator

You can tell it’s something I made because of the bright, cheerful colors and imagery, and the optimistic overall tone.

My recommendation for how to read this would be, “don’t.”
