Project A, Artist poster. A true inspiration of mine, Frida Kahlo. As an artist she was great, as a role model she was an inspiration, and as a human she was real. I feel that her story of love, pain, and art is something that anyone can relate to no matter how much you like or dislike her work. She was a real person with her shares of ups and downs and wasn't going to go down without being heard. Kahlo's suffering, passion, and pain was seen throughout her work as exemplified in the images that I included in my poster. She lived a short life, but the impact that she left behind was one that will catch hold and has been a motivational tool for me.
The use of Indesign and Photoshop was very helpful in creating a personal informative poster, along with the Williams NDDT readings that helped outline and guide me in the design process of placement and understanding of common well structured elements of text layout and design. I feel though as my poster could use a bit of improvement, but generally it has the elements that I was trying to achieve in the whole scheme of things. I have been inspired to continue to focus on the use of text and layout to better improve my presentation skills as I know that I am not a great speaker, and could use all the help possible by visual supplements.
