Journalism by Carolyn Pavelkis I wanted this poster to speak to the importance of the First Amendment and freedom of the press by calling attention to the work that professional journalists do every day, even while under fire, providing a necessary check/ balance in our complex society. Visually, I composited the front pages of newspapers from the 2016-17 election year as a background, then used a silhouette of the Statue of Liberty to represent freedom. The typography is positioned to represent a newspaper nameplate, further reinforcing the overall concept. Carolyn is a photographer/designer from Chicago, passionate about coffee, yoga, travel and local living. Her design style is heavily influenced by both modern and post-modern design, notably Massimo Vignelli and David Carson. She believes in pushing the envelope, that good design matters, and in the necessity of using one's talents to bolster one's community.
