Hotel Rwanda Text Illustration


This is my text illustration for the Hotel Rwanda project. For this image I used the horizontal type mask tool for the word 'courage'. I wanted to make it stand out from the flames. Also I tried to show Paul's face as a sort of caretaker of the Tutsi people during the conflict of Rwanda. I think the image expressed what I wanted it to because it shows how Paul showed courage by sheltering innocent people from the horrible acts of genocide occurring in Rwanda.

Hotel Rwanda Movie Poster


This is my movie poster for the social injustice project. For this poster I tried to make Don Cheadle's character appear as a refuge for the Tutsi people from the Hutu militia and the atrocious acts they were committing. I tried to keep the image from getting too busy, but I still wanted to get the message across clearly. I think it turned out well in the end and it advertises the movie well.
