UPDATED International Women's Day!

Hey everyone!

So I am starting an International Women's Day poster to support all women! This is the journey I will be taking and how each step goes in designing a poster.


This is a picture created by Al Parker and is the centre of my inspiration. In this picture I love how the woman has her arm over her head and a soft yet elegant pose. I chose this as my inspiration because I believe this pose is the very essence of a woman. Soft and beautiful.

Woman of Choice

For my poster I chose Lady Gaga because I believe she is someone who inspires all women. Although she can be a bit odd, she's very secure in who she is and many young girls need that inspiration. Lady Gaga doesn't care what people may say about her and she try's to get the message out that beauty isn't "who your wearing" and how tiny you can get your waste, but how beautiful it is to be different. She has inspired me.

Alright, so here is my idea. I want to incorporate an image of Lady Gaga - maybe a stage picture of posed one - and have a microphone with a cord leading out along the page and turn into her name. Music is here life so I thought I would turn her name into music. Another idea was to go with just a face, some of her outfits or even go with a more modern art look for her thats more cartoonish. 

So far I am still in the idea stage but moving forward on a final design. Check in soon to see some updates!

Happy Blogging and a BIG thank you to all Women in the world! <3


I'm really excited to get started on the final!! The colours are going to be:

Background: black
Name: white
"International Women's Day": black - tattoo
Lady Gaga's outfit: combo of reds

Check back soon for some pics along the way!!
Happy Blogging :D

  2. I like where this is going so far, Rachel. Great job of showing us your development stages. I'm not sure I'm sold on the black background yet, but let's see how it goes when we begin painting on Monday. :^)
