Shot at the entrance of the road in Port of Spain Trinidad on Carnival Monday.
For my senior show, one aspect that had to be developed and soon was the artist statement. The artist statement is said to identify the purpose of your project. The artist statement is intended to be a substitute for the introductory speech to my showcase. Below is my developed senior showcase.
The purpose of my project is to inform people of the beauty of my home country of Trinidad. The best way to understand a country and the premise of their identity is through the land, people, and culture. In order to accomplish my purpose, I created three magazines that would allow others to experience Trinidad virtually.
Each of the three magazines reflect a category, with loads of imagery and plenty of dialogue to understand what is happening in each moment. I wanted to provide a digital tour of Trinidad and have its essence speak for itself. Each magazine cover follows a similar design to tie each category together because collectively they represent Trinidad. The use of cool colors, funky typeface, and photo-focused layouts is intended to elude to the tropical warmth of the ISLAND, the jubilant spirit of the PEOPLE, and the larger than life CULTURE that makes Trinidad a country that must be experienced.
