For my personal poster, I decided to spread awareness to texting and driving. I believe texting and driving is a topic that everyone around the world must take seriously. Many people get into car accidents while texting behind the wheel and have caused numerous deaths. I believe if everyone is mindful of themselves while driving, the streets can be a better place for all. I decided to use Adobe Illustrator to illustrate the side of a sports car with blood on it to show the aftereffects of hitting someone while driving because the person was on their phone behind the wheel. On the bottom of my art piece, I put “Don’t Text and Drive” inside of a caution tape to show the severity of the situation. My goal is to make everyone think twice about texting and driving the next time they enter their vehicle.

 

This logo that I created represents who I am in a few ways. I decided to use the first letter of my name as a symbol that lets viewers know that it is my artwork that is being shown below to the audience. I decided to put a crown on top of the letter because the crown is a symbolic headgear that represents power, glory, immortality, royalty and sovereignty. Much of my personal art represents power in the arts and this crown gives power to all aspects of artists around the world. I put a pencil next to my name to symbolize the arts that will mainly be displayed in my page and my personal favorite medium to use. Lastly, I decided to have the letter made from gold to match the overall theme of power and royalty in my logo.

                The rationale behind the banner was to make the viewer who enters my open lab page to feel welcomed. A taste of the sunlight beaming through the horizon felt like the most welcoming image that came to mind. At the front is the text, “Gabriel N’s OPEN LAB!” which is a bold statement that suggests you are in right place to see great content. I personally felt that the grass would also be another welcoming item to add to my banner. Surrounding that, I wanted to show an abstract vine of different shapes to show creativity and that anything interesting can be on my page. Finally, I put a small city in the background to give a taste of who I am and where I was raised which I feel really defines me and my art.
