This is an example of contemporary propaganda made by Frank Shepard Fairey who is best known for his Barack Obama "HOPE" portrait. This particular artwork can be considered a piece of propaganda because it influences its viewers to really think about war and violence and then persuades the viewers to take an alternative: making art. I think it is an effective piece of propaganda because the message the artist is trying to convey is really clear and and persuasive. 
This is another example of propaganda except this time created by yours truly. I took a phrase from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's speech and turned it into a persuasive propaganda idea.

So this is my threaded image that I put together in Photoshop. The pictures are from a sheep farm in Wales - randomest topic ever? But I think it turned out well and I think I disguised the edges of the separate pictures pretty well although the angle might be a little funky. Oh well. Can you tell which sheep I photoshopped in? :]
Originally, I drew sketches for a redesign of the Burger King logo and although my sketches looked promising, when I brought my ideas to Illustrator, the logo didn't turn out quite as good as I wanted it to be. So I decided to change to another idea and came up with my own taco/fast food joint called Macho Nachos. Please forgive the corniness of the idea, but I think the logo came out okay...
My "Gangsta" word illustration was done in Illustrator and made to express the character of the word. I was trying to go for the graffiti look and I repeated the word in the background so it wasn't so plain. I think it adds a busy-ness that translates well for the word Gangsta. 
This is my type illustration, using a word to depict its meaning. After a lot of indecision, I chose the word Swing. This is a simple picture but I think it fits the word, reminds me of kids playing at a park.
This is a picture of the assignment we did using a song to choose an appropriate type face. I chose the song "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" by Snow Patrol and then picked a scripty font for the headers because the song is elegant and moving. 
The song "Hands of Time" by Groove Armada inspired this assignment. We were to make an illustration using a song as inspiration. This song is basically about accepting the passing of time because "you can't turn back the hands of time" and so I decided to make a clock. I wanted to go for more of a pocket watch type feel to give it an older, more antique feeling, which is also why I chose the rusty gold color of the text.
My fashion logos here were for the assignment to make an illustration with type and a picture. I had obviously been watching too much Project Runway when I made this and that's probably what inspired me to use the dress form as the picture. I couldn't decide which version I liked better. I think the black is more bold and makes a statement, it's to be taken seriously while the pink and purple one is more artsy and has a more small clothing boutique feeling.
