Intro to Studio
Compassion is a sympathetic feeling you can get for a situation, person, or thing. When people show compassion, we can be motivated to relive the suffering one is going through. Compassion means “to suffer together” and can be strong influential remorseful emotion you feel within. This project is based off of compassion and raising awareness towards others and the problem they face on a daily basis. If we are not aware of the problem, how will you find a solution. Making a poster that grabs the viewer’s attention to provoke compassionate energy, could be the first step to change.
The problem I am shedding light on is the disconnect between baby boomers and before generations, to every generation after them. Some people may be able to relate to this, and some people may not of course. Being gentler to the younger generation’s lifestyle with the involvement of technology could be beneficial to the younger generation’s childhood experience. If older generations could learn more about technology, see the benefits tech brings, and by becoming aware that technology has evolved people and their mindsets overtime, life would be more positive for some of us around here.
To begin this poster, I started finding images of children playing outside and children playing with toys from some of my magazines lying around the house. I did this because, back then, electronics weren’t as common and as advanced as they are today. In the 60’s more children were seen outside playing or inside playing with toys. Then, I started finding pictures from magazines of kids on their electronic devices. I attempted to show the transition from kids playing outside, to kids being on their phones to show the changes in society today. I placed cutouts of phones on children’s heads to show how their brains are wired differently in many ways. Kids are tapped in to a lot of information, good or bad. I then used PicsArt to add the text on both posters to steer the audiences’ minds in the right direction.
Overall, the project was relieving to be able to express myself in an appropriate creative way to raise awareness towards an issue I see clearly in todays’ world.
