Really, this piece is not complicated in its intentions. This is an environmental graphic made up of a wooden, freestanding, box/frame and plastic sheets covered in printed illustrations. This piece is large, fun and meant to be enjoyable. It was designed around a statement/quote, providing a simple truth: you matter.
With this piece, I wanted to drift away from the common student examples of graphic work; and achieved this, through its construction, scale, meaning and overall design. It is both aesthetically pleasing, as well as a novelty; the use of an anaglyph color palette plays tricks on the viewer’s eyes and mind. Looking through the provided blue and red glasses, closing one eye at a time, will reveal both the message and the illustrations. It stands to provoke a form of motivation and inspiration, derived from personal battles I have had with self-purpose. Ultimately, it is a feel-good piece.
