FINAL POSTER:

TITLE: Growing & Adulting

ARTIST STATEMENT:

This poster is about "adulting" and "growing up."

*Inspired by my childhood wish, I believe every kid dreams of growing up faster. Now, at the age I once longed to be, and in order to commemorate the achievement of my childhood dream, I created this poster.

The message that I want to bring out is we use the things we learn to pave the path toward achieving our dreams.

We use the things we learn and achieve to build the staircase. Don’t rush; make sure the staircase is strong enough. Growing up is a long journey—enjoy it and live life to the fullest. Use everything you can to build your own staircase.

Here a some description for my elements that I use in this poster:

My sketch/drawing, art supplies and books: 

Growing up, drawing and reading books were my companions. Art and books have helped me become a better version of myself.

A hand that is drawing and the sketched staircase:

The future is unpredictable, and I have no idea what my staircase is supposed to look like. However, we can always make plans and set goals, which help sketch out our future.

A door with ‘SMALL ME’ on it:

In the poster, I am looking at this door, symbolizing that I will always look back at my younger self. It serves as a reminder to never forget my dreams.

‘A’ Door with light:

Adulting is a process, and I believe it will help me become a better version of myself. Behind that door, my future will be bright and warm.

REFLECTIVE WRITING:

First task done! I really enjoy making this poster, it includes things that I like. 

Writing a story/statement for my poster is quite interesting too. I get the chance to tell what I want to convey. 

(And I like to hide hidden fun details in my work too, explaining these details are fun)
