I have created a flyer to help illustrate my thesis for my Graphic Design History paper on the Pop Art era. My Thesis being: Andy Warhol's impact on the contemporary world of art, highly influenced what we define as "art" today. In my paper i analyze his use of iconography in popular culture, to support my thesis. Therefore I have created my own Andy Warhol Merlin Monroes to show his use of celebrity icons. In 1963, his piece was made after the star had died and her tragic life story was exposed, many thought Warhol was putting the star on pedestal but in fact he was doing the exact opposite. Instead his piece was reveled to ironically criticize consumerism.

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

Graphic design is an inspired and artistic progression of our ideas our art and technology used to interconnect ideas to each other and the world. We have a lot more power and responsibly then we realize in conveying these messages. We have the ability to seriously impact the lives of others, what we design becomes a part of everyday visuals that encourage our minds.

That is why we must consider all aspects of ethical design before we send out the wrong memo. This is not about a client, it is about you and your message we are the ones that decide what we choose to put out into the world. Therefore, we need to challenge the awareness and understandings of our societies and ourselves. We need to realize the importance of asking ourselves; what message do I want to send out into the biosphere? Am I contributing to the design world in a positive way? And, how will this reflect onto me as designer, and as a human being?
