Movie Poster Concept
The world will be transformed by... technology. Of course technology has already transformed the world, but I would like to do a modern take on the influence that mobile media has had on society. I am going for the negative effects of media in particular, making it a very darkly themed movie. How has media hurt our social lives? How has media hurt the unbiased consumption of information? How has media run corrupt into our political, historical, and economic roots? Examining these values will create for an interesting aesthetic that can play on many modern taboos which represent these influences. For instance, perhaps the movie poster is simply a tablet or a phone screen, with "apps" representing the cultural influence that modern mobile media has had on society. A "pick your poison" kind of look at which destructive element of media the viewer will open. The following movie posters capture some of these darkly themed, self-destructive look I am going for.

Tableau Photos
The following are the 6 photos that I planned from the beginning to use in my Tableau project. I chose only these six because I knew they best represented my heritage in an aesthetically pleasing way. Enjoy.
Image 1:
This landscape represents Ireland, a primary place of heritage for my family.
Image 2:
This ship represents my ancestors who came to America from Europe.
Image 3:
This tank represents my grandfather's military service during the Korean War, as a tank mechanic.
Image 4:
The majority of my family held occupations as farmers and land-owners.
Image 5:
Some of my family were Red Cross nurses at crucial times in American history, such as the Civil War and World War II.
Image 6:
This SIUC Saluki Dawg represents that my family actually owned a large portion of the campus' land before it was turned into a university, specifically, the SIU Arena.

Images of Design Fundamentals
CONTRAST: This image represents an important component of color through the use of stark contrast in black text on white background and white text on black background.
SPACE: Empty, white space is highly effective in this design to proportionally allow a certain calming effect on the viewer. Consequently, this ad is for a very quiet mower.
HIERARCHY: This article shows the importance of hierarchy. The most important text (titles and subtitles) are represented as such through the use of size and placement.
