The League of Women Voters chapters in Perrysburg and Bowling Green requested a poster design that would be used across Wood County Ohio to promote activities celebrating the 19th Amendment in the year 2020.
The resulting poster design uses a photo of Ohio suffragettes from 1919, supplied by the Bowling Green State Archive. Layering and transparency affects applied via Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop were create a veneer of age to the design. The image was modified to resemble a steel engraving. The layering of the photo and color shifts in color density and transparency were used to reference Dada and Rauschenberg collage paintings along with inspiration from Pop Art's insistence on using multiple images.
The poster was a big success!
