My final project is about colorism and specifically colorism in the media. In this PSA poster i have created, i share definitions, examples, and quotes relating to this topic, further strengthening the point that lighter skinned people of the same ethnic group are treated better in every way, compared to dark skinned people. Including examples of Hollywood and Shirley test shows the history of Hollywoods colorist ideology and how darker skinned people were never even thought of when it came to production and media. Colorism must be addressed more and this PSA along with the essay is a quick glance to acknowledge the standard of beauty that must be dismantled. More information given on the actual explanation in the link below 🙂
I like your project design, the work itself was very creative and informative. It looks very well researched and thought out. I think that Colorism is prevalent in almost every aspect of our lives and it’s astounding that there are people that truly believe colorism is a fabrication, but I would say that the people that usually feel that way are on the lighter side of the spectrum.
