Project

We were assigned to make a series of propaganda posters on a current social issue. I decided to address fashion and identity and made posters to change the perception of the dress to a gender neutral garment. I decided to modernize an Art Nouveau framing motif because of the its ties to the revolutionary time in 1900's fashion when the bob became a popular hairstyle for rebellious women in Greenwich Village. I used photography of a male in powerful masculine poses to offset the femininity of the dress into a more gender neutral space. The serious expression and direct gaze of the of the subject is daring the viewer to see a joke in the poster.
