Description
These are social issue poster series of player and former players in the NFL that shows a question mark over there faces. The colors are based on their former or new team colors. Each raises the question of each players recent situations and what currently stands in their situation and making the case by explaining their whole careers and success.
Process
When starting this project, with research going back to a recent situation about Colin Kaepernick, who is a former football player in the NFL. This social issue started when Colin began a protest about police brutality by not standing up for the national anthem before the kick off of every game. The media twisted the narrative saying he was disrespecting the flag and the military. Since then, Colin has not played in the NFL and has not been given another opportunity by teams that really need his talents at his position. I want to raise questions and thoughts by creating these posters to start the conversation for people and for them to be open-minded and honest about what they think what's really going on in the NFL and for each of these individual athletes. Is Colin Kaepernick being blackballed? Is Eric Reid experiencing backlash? Is Johnny Manziel blessed with privilege? Is the Baltimore Ravens creating some kind of diversion with Robert Griffin to fool people because of the collusion with Colin Kaepernick? What are your thoughts and questions?
My process began and ended with these few stages:
-
Research
-
Creating a consistent layout
-
Critique
-
Mock-up
