Political Poster
This poster was created as a final project for my History of Graphic Design class. We were assigned to pick a controversial political topic, pick a side either against or for it, and then design a poster for it. I chose the topic of animal testing, since it is such a prominent factor of my everyday life even though I do not realize it is. As a consumer of makeup, I never really thought about what goes on in the beginning stages of most makeup products on todays market. After delving into research on this topic, I learned so many unsettling facts about the truth of animal testing. For this poster, I really wanted to convey the idea of personifying the puppy and giving it human characteristics. By collaging human lips and eyes on the puppy, it really makes it unsettling to look at because we are so used to seeing puppies without makeup on. It makes the viewer question why the puppy is wearing makeup because it simply does not make sense, which is exactly what I wanted to spark in every viewers mind.
