Knowledge is Life - Healthcare Poster
Artist Statement
My poster is designed to educate the viewer about the choices they have in regards to the upcoming changes in the American healthcare system. I choose to paint cartoon style people to make the poster more relatable to anyone who is viewing it. The poster shows the characters thinking, and in their thought bubble is helpful information about the Affordable Care Act and what exactly the options are. The whole poster has a fun, cartoon feel to for hopes that it will make the Affordable Care Act seem less frightening to the viewers. I tried to make my poster be a simple display of the facts because the health care system is already confusing, and I wanted to show the viewers the very basic overview of the system. I painted the background light yellow to match the themes of the other posters in the room, but also to give the poster a happy feeling, showing that the changes to our health care system might be positive if we keep our minds open to change.
