Poster week 2

Here are my poster ideas for week two. My theme is Masking identity and this can be incorporated in many different ways. Its about selecting a new identity or hiding behind a new identity or mask.

Poster one is about selecting gender and wear a mask to hide your real identity because society isn't as accepting as your family and friends. Its also about gender stereotypes and how we are put under pressure to be a certain way because society tells us at a young age this what girls and boys should act like and dress.



The second poster is about identity and sexuality. Sexuality is part of our identity. It makes us who we are. The poster is about an individual with a blank canvas and there are trying to make an important decision. What their sexuality is. In our society there are so many labels and titles. The label should not be important. What is important are your feelings. However society has a thing for labels and loves to focus on the outside and not what's on the inside.



The third poster is about masking identity and emotions. Its about how we express different emotions and different sides of our personality to certain people. Its about the fine line between your personal life and your work life. How you act a certain way in a working environment and another way with family and friends.




The forth poster is about masking identity and emotions. Its about wearing a mask to hide our true emotions. Its also about how we show certain emotions and act a certain way to certain people and in certain situations.



The fifth poster is about masking identity and the damage is causes. Society puts pressure on us to look and act a certain way. We then put on this mask in order to fit in. Wearing a mask all the time causes damage to our true identities. Over time we tend to lose parts of who we are or forget who we are. All we are left with then is a mask.



The sixth poster is about masking identity and different skin tones. You see so many photos of celebrities and people applying bottles and bottles of fake tan so that they can appear darker or more tan. I am sure that some people have also tried to make their skin lighter. I question society quite often because I don't understand it sometimes. Why are we trying to be something we're not. Why not accept who we are and treat each other equally.
