Christian Solorzano Critique Identity
My identity project is centered around what a teacher in elementary school thought me. During the class we had to do a report on the different types of ways to be a "healthy" person. I never gave this much thought until about junior high and high school. All the people who looked like their had most of their life under control and who appeared to be the most happy, ended up going on a decline. The people who seemed to have it all, ended up going to jail and getting pregnant and making bad choices. Eventually, I remembered what my teacher taught me and I made it a point to look this up more.
Then eventually I got an idea to go into the extreme and trace a photo of St.Peter and use his image as the center of my project. I'm still working on this so this is still in rough draft mode. I chose to make one large poster instead of a series but I was also thinking of possibly branching this idea into several individual pieces.
I didn't want to give my person in my design an identity because I felt like if you do that, you're in a way taking a male or female approach so instead I just went with a neutral figure while still making it clear that it is a "Saint".
I included the words, spiritual, physical, emotional, mental and environmental because these are my centered topics. I placed the words along the image to highlight what I'm referring too.
My plans for this are to, give the project more detail and maybe, make several posters instead of one.

2nd Project - 1st Crit
Okay so far I have one almost completely done, another is in the development stage, and another is really just taking its time...
The first one represents art and how its eternal. I think art comes and goes but there are great pieces that last forever, and I don't mean art as in one medium I mean it in many mediums like ideas(caves of Lascaux and the invention of the wheel), so I will expand on that more and add more objects such as light bulbs for the "ideas".
The second piece is the idea of positivity outweighing the negative, which to me is important and one of my guidelines for living peacefully. There is black void which is negative because nothing good comes from negativity, and overlapping that is a face painting I did a couple months ago, having more than one medium(photography, paint, body art etc.) obviously more mediums come from a more positive state of mind.
My third piece is the preservation of nature. I hold much more concern and respect for nature than I do for humans. Yes, humans are nature, but we have also made a major impact on the planet in terms of preserving it. We abuse out resources for greedy purposes and it disgusts me. If I could I would move all the forests and everything untouched by man to some where far away. So this piece is me bottling up beauty which is nature.
My fourth piece is still in the making, so far what I'm going to do is make it all just quotes that I have found inspirational over the years and put them on to one piece. Or possibly something to do with Karma, because to me it is very real.
THINGS I NEED HELP WITH:
1. The font- which one should I use?
2. What else should I add to each poster?
3. What my fourth one should be?
