SELF PORTRAIT PROPAGANDA POSTER
Inspiration
For this project, I used Adobe Illustrator to create a self portrait of myself, which I later used to make a propaganda poster. Being Brazilian, my country and culture are both very important parts of myself, so I wanted to create a propaganda poster to save the Amazon forest. It represents nearly a third of all tropical rainforests in the world, being our most powerful natural defense against climate change. However, the forest is suffering from deforestation and fires, ruining the homes of many animals almost extinct, like the Macaw and Brazil's most beautiful natural resource. With this project, I had the intention of raising awareness to people not aware of this situation, so we can save one of the world's largest forest.
I used the pen tool to create the drawings of everything, including the lake background, my self portrait, the macaw, and the lungs with the fire and the tree. I tried to pick 5 main colors for the project: green, red, blue, yellow, and orange, which I believe are the colors that match the most with the intention of the project. The self portrait was the hardest part for me; I really struggled with the facial features. However, the lake in the background was the most time consuming part of the project. I am really happy with how the project turned out, and I think it is a great demonstration of who I am as a person.
