Isaac Ahrendes
For my inspiration, I used the iconic “We Can Do It” women from one of the most famous WW2 propaganda posters to ever exist, and then I used it as a silhouette (I made it using the Compound path tool) to make the poster more interesting, then, I filled the outside with Amador’s colors to truly represent the school spirit. In the inside, you will see different colors that look like glass, however, if you look closely, you will that those aren’t random shapes but silhouettes as well. They are silhouettes of some of the most famous and influential women throughout history. From left to right, red to yellow to blue to purple, are Marie Curie, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, and Susan B. Anthony, all of whom were very important for modern day feminism. With that reason, I truly believe that this poster celebrates some of the greatest achievements accomplished by women.

For this design, I chose to keep it fairly simple and make the theme floral. I used the pen tool for all aspects of this design except the text (which I used the text tool for). I drew different hands holding different flowers to show the different backgrounds women all around the world come from, and each one of them are beautiful and unique, just like the flowers. I used a lot of pastel and subtle colors so it’s not too overwhelming and overpowering the main theme of the poster because I wanted it to highlight the delicateness but power of women.
Shien Benoit
This poster showing Harriet Tubman for women's history month, she was famous for leading slaves through the underground railroad secretly through the night helping them get away from slave owners who were keeping slaves that have been free’d.

While ideating for my poster, I thought about how I could represent professions. I then searched up a list of professions with the least amount of women representation. The list included construction, ship captains, and mechanics. I chose to use hats to represent each profession due to their simplicity and uniqueness. I thought a welder’s hat would be more recognizable than a mechanic’s hat, which was just a regular baseball cap. Sticking with the theme of hats and professions, I added my text which was simple, clear, and bold. I staggered the images and text to remove monotony from the poster. If I had more time and wanted to improve upon the poster, I would add an astronaut’s helmet to represent all space-related professions, not just astronauts. The reason for this being I recently researched Katherine Johnson for a AP CSA project.

In creating this design, I aimed to capture the comfortable simplicity that many of our previous posters had while also creating a pleasing piece that has a distinctly feminine theme. By using shades of pink throughout the design, this piece evokes feeling of strong and independent women who have challenged conformity and societal norms. The text, which states “Celebrate Women’s History,” is a call to action that encourages a celebration of the impact women have made on history dating back to many years ago. Rather than simply stating the poster was celebrating women’s history, this text makes one feel that celebrating women’s history is an essential part of understanding where we came from and how society has changed over time thanks to strong women who made a difference in the world. The women in the bottom left corner signify girl power, and the notion that women are strong and difference makers. Overall, this design elegantly captures the idea of celebrating women’s history while also maintaining a simple design that brings comfort and gives it a “homemade” feel.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
I chose to partially recreate the “We Can Do It!” poster as it represents women’s empowerment and one of the first times women became part of the workforce en masse, breaking out of the cult of domesticity. I also added swathes of yellow and purple to represent Amador, making them intentionally messy and blended together to show the diverse nature of Amador.

Artist’s Statement:
I went for a minimalistic approach, I put a gradient background of the WHM colors (purple, white, green). For the graphics I used a more contemporary style of incorporating the gender symbol and using it to also represent the letter ‘O’ for the text. The font is a bold and outlined style to signify the powerful feminist movement. The style of the graphic is to show how the suffrage movement has endured till now and the hardship and struggle they faced but have still endured.

Artist’s Statement:
I made a simple women’s history month poster that used the schools colors while also using an image of a women. I’ve always liked the paint splatter look so I wanted to incorporate that into this project along with the school colors to give it an amador feel. Lastly I added some hearts around to fill the empty space and direct attention to the main image. For fonts I used a simple bold one and a sub heading font that is lighter but still visible. Overall I enjoy the final product.

I wanted to implement how people stereotype women to thinking they are delicate, and what is more delicate than a flower. But I also wanted to show what women should truly be seen as and whats stronger than lightning. I chose to make this drawing different shades of pink because it is also a stereotype for women that people have decided so this is supposed to represent how women embrace it and live by it.

In this project i decided to create an abstract image that represented the ripples of water. The ripples represent how women are very diverse. And defining an image of what they are will always be fuzzy, like this poster.
Candace Kirk
For my poster I added the women from Hercules. These women have always just been powerful and feminine to me. This is also one of my favorite movies.

As the great YN Colosn said “women are like sweet cream” they are always sweat and always dedicated to there jobs. Just like sweat cream they mix well with everything and are always dedicated to tere task at hand. Another saying gose “ women are as dedicated as a bull chasing a red flag.” Dedication is shown in my drawing as there is so many empovering hatages. Hashtags was an idea given to me by another YN Dylan. As you know YNs love to crash out and one way to do this for fylan is by punching hastages. He loves posting random images and said hashtags are a way to empover the women so i thought yes THIS IS BRILLIANT i wil put hashtags around my drawing. The main idea of the I LOVE WOMEN is given to me by the biggest crashout in the 925. WAIT A MINUTE DRUM ROLLLL. YN RUSHEEEL. As you know YN Rusheel loves to help women out whenever he has the chance and told me women are precious ike diamonds. AS rihanna said “Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy You and I, you and I, we're like diamonds in the sky” And that is why i created my drawing. :)

Taylor Swift inspired my poster because she is an amazing and influential person for women empowerment. I look up to her and so do many other girls and women which is why I used her image for my design
Sadie Haan
I chose this to create a simple outline of a woman’s head in black to make it pop from the background. Then put the words Women's History Month in white to make sure it is the first thing you see. The font I used was georgia because it seemed professional but also had a fancy flair that worked with the flowers. I created 6 different types of flowers to show femininity but also diversity and make it more interesting. The leaves help tie in the white background to the flowers. This poster shows and rejects woman's stereotypes by showing that we can like pretty things and can still be strong. This poster catches your eye with bright colors and few words.
Artist’s Statement:
I was inspired by the simple female symbol, which goes nicely with the sleek SF Pro Display font. I chose to add a fist to symbolize female perseverance and determination. I made it rainbow to not only include LGBTQ but be representative of all identities, transcending gender roles. I made the outline and glow pink because thats a women’s color.

Artist's Statement
For this poster I decided to go with a comprehensive color pallette. I included a range of colors because women are diverse and uniques. I made the word “WOMEN’S” a different color to draw attention to the topic. I used a border to create a more interesting look compared to a plain poster

For this poster, I wanted to express a beautiful and feminine vibe since it is a poster for Women’s History Month. The soft, flowy, colors represents the hope, talent, love, and passion women have. I drew an outline picture of a women with hair that blends in with the background whom represents the concept of women and femininity. This picture is big and takes up most of the space on the poster because it is the focal point of the piece. It shows women’s impact on our society and the huge role women play in making up our history. At the bottom of the poster, I drew pictures of four different women to show the diversity. I then included a very big font for “women” to emphasize the key idea that is being displayed. I wrote “History Month” in a more elegant and cursive text to match the vibe of the poster.
Artist’s Statement: For this poster I used a few different shades of pink to represent women’s history month, and I also included an outline of a woman’s face to make it look interesting. For the border I just kept it simple and added rectangles over one another to give it more detail.

For this design, I wanted to include a lady looking at a flower to represent the beauty and femininity of all women for Women’s History month. In addition, I included many different eye colors to show the diversity between all sorts of women who have been in our history. I included brow, blue, green, hazel, and black eyes. I used typography to create the words Women’s and History, giving them fancy first letters and formal capped letters for the rest of the word for a theme of maturity and grace. Then I used alignment with a line to match them up on the the right edge together to make it easy to read.

My design is inspired by 90% of the Women’s History Month posters on the internet: the generic side profile of women. The color choice consists of warmer, more feminine tones. I chose this font and made them all caps to give it a modern and sophisticated look.

I had four figure that I drew in Illustrator and I put put it as a transparent imagine, which all the different women figure represent different ethnic groups. Lastly I placed the picture in Indesign and put the main text that tells the theme of the poster.
