Truth by Pseudonym
Our projects were meant to be questionably funny. We've created three projects, one targeting safe sex and the other two targeting the economy. I feel that we did end up with what we had expected although as always the art took it's own course during the creation process.
Safe sex project:
The background of the poster is covered of different colored condoms to represent different flavors of "candy." The quote on the condom that Maria is holding reads, "Good Candy [comes in a wrapper]" making "Good Candy" the condom brand name and the "[comes in a wrapper]" the 'company's" slogan or whatever. Initially we wanted to hand out blown up different colored condoms that had our quote written on it, but we had to change our plans because of school rules and such. The reason we initially wanted to hand out condoms and not just make a poster was to make it a somewhat active advertisement. We wanted to be the business that hands out product samples instead of the business that just puts up billboards.Economy Projects:
The "Girls Gone Broke" piece was inspired after Joe Francis's requesting of a bailout from the governement. Apparently with the current economy stress people don't buy their porn as often as they used to. If attention is paid to the contrast of the women in the background you can see it goes from sensual looking females to the decent moms and little girls.
Our "Lady Liberty" piece was inspired by the current economy and how America's people are basically suffering even while under Lady Liberty's protective robe. Our text reads: "Your Poor. Your tired. Your Hungry" which is exactly what the majority of America is today.
