Classes Poster Trio
This school assignment, to choose three classes offered at
Seattle Central Community College. I chose the introductory
courses of Philosophy, Psychology and Political Science. The
concept behind the campaign: Thought and how each discipline
views the human nature.

The fourth poster. At the critique, many expressed a lack of
understanding with the philosophy poster. The symbolism of the
empty jar was vague. I had to come up with a new idea. Word
choice was crucial. I was reading a book of poems at the time,
when the word “antidote” jumped out at me.

Poster for Tomorrow
I wanted to appeal to the imagination of the
viewer and communicate with metaphor.
I wanted them to get a sense of what
homelessness is like. The desire of a home and
the danger and expsosure of the homeless are
the primary themes of the poster.
