Project 1, the compassion poster, was meant for us to define what compassion both is and was for us. At first, I wanted to do a poster related to either, PTSD, suicide, anxiety, or depression; however, those were very tough subjects for me to get through. I then began to think about the forest and how I wish humans had more compassion for our wildlife. I wanted to make a poster of not only the forest, but I knew I wanted it to have some sort of mystical creatures in them.  I wanted it to be both innocent yet depressing. I came up with a few original fairy designs and decided to have their bodies deteriorating as the forest was dying. I also drew a stag in the background breathing fire to depict the death of the forest. As I worked on the project, I tried to research various watercolor techniques. Although it was my first time with watercolor, I do feel that I did a decent job.
