Poster week 4



Poster 1 is about masking identity. It's about society putting pressure on young girls to look and act a certain way. It's about suffocation and fear. The fear is not being able to express and show who you are because of society. It's also about real vs fake. If you put on this mask, does that make you a fake person? Is society fake?



Poster 2 is about masking identity. It shows the damage the mask is doing to yourself. Does a mask cause you to loose your identity and disappear? Even though you are wearing this mask to try and fit in, society is still tearing you down and putting pressure on you to look and act a certain way. However no matter how hard you try to hide your true identity, your eyes will always reveal the truth.



Poster 3 is about camouflage and masking your identity. It's about selecting a new identity. The metal clockwork represents your mind and how you decide and create this new mask and identity to wear. Its also the mask you hide your real self behind. The eye represents your soul and they reveal the truth. Even though you try to hide your identity, your eyes will always expose your real identity and emotions.



Poster 4 represents masking identity and the media. It also explores the idea of real and fake. Celebrities are constantly under pressure over their their image and appearance. They are constantly posting photoshopped images of themselves on social media. Celebrities influence young people. This can have a negative effect because young people ( and older people) believe that these fake, photoshopped images are what society thinks is beautiful. This image also contains a doll which represents youth and childhood innocence. The barbie doll has an unhealthy body which has an effect on young people. What are toy companies and the media trying to tell young people? That fake is beautiful? That having an unhealthy body size is beautiful?



Poster 6 is about masking identity and selecting a new identity. Its about creating a mask and how you wear this fake identity in order to fit in with society. Because of this mask we feel like plastic that society just wants to mould into the image they want. We loose part of who we are because of having to put on an act the whole time. However the eye is the window to our soul and it always reveal our real emotions and identity.


This image is about masking identity. Its about hiding who you are from the world and putting on this fake identity. This mask works in two ways. It makes you invisible in society but it also sucks the life out of your own identity. The longer you wear it the more you become dependant on it. However you can't mask the emotions in your eyes and they will always reveal who you really are. So even when you are trying to hide who you are, some part of you will always be exposed for the world to judge.
