Portrait & Propaganda

     

  

               

This is my Portrait and Propaganda Poster project. This is my absolute favorite project I've created. The picture I used was a selfie I took was of me in a wig that I usually use for cosplay. The wig gives me a lot of confidence that I usually don't have. Cosplaying is one of my favorite activities because I get to display my creativity and talent with costumes and makeup. My Propaganda poster is about being black in the cosplay community. Many black cosplayers are looked down upon and made fun of for "not being the accurate skin color". This makes a lot of black coplayers and cosplayers of color in general, myself included, feel less appreciated in the cosplay community. They feel like they can't cosplay certain characters just because of how they look. My poster is for all of the black cosplayers who feel like they aren't beautiful. I just wanted to share that black coplayers are beautiful and can cosplay whatever character they want because the characters are fictional.
