Working with producers Brad Bailey and Jered Everson, I designed this poster for their documentary short film, “Her Fight His Name: The Story of Gwen Carr and Eric Garner.”

I was inspired by the passion and fight of the mothers who had lost children to police violence, led in part by Gwen Carr, the star of the film. I chose to illustrate her in red, her signature color and a symbol of passion, anger and blood. The mothers standing behind her are diverse in appearance but they share the same expression, symbolizing their shared fight for justice.

My poster was one of three in my class used to promote the movie and I was later tasked with designing one specifically for OSCARS consideration, in addition to a billboard.
