I chose Billie Holiday and Edgar Allen Poe as my prominent Maryland residents. The relationship that I want to draw from them was about their similar ability of inspiring other people. Even though they were born in different times, both left huge influences to the next generation. As an American poet, short story writer, critic, essayist, and playwright Billie Holiday led the American Romantic Movement. As well as, Billie Holiday is well known for her greatest jazz voice in the history.
My postcards are designed for campaigning the month of art in St.Mary college of Maryland. I seek to promote the beauty of not only visible works, for example, short stories of Edgar Allen Poe, but also audible works, such as jazz music of Billie Holiday. These people are quite outstanding in the art field. In my first draft, you can see an image of saxophone and paws of cats scattered on the background which is a night view in front of Montgomery Hall in SMCM. On the right corner of the front page, there is a website address written in a certain font. On the back page, we can also see the beautiful sun setting image with the paws.
My second postcard looks more like an educational purposed postcard. I try to make it seem still at the same time, comforting and clear with its purpose. The relationship that Holiday and Poe had together would be cooperating relations. I will scan images of real books of Edgar Allen Poe, and also I can put my pictures that I take at SMCM. I hope my projects are clearer in showing the purpose of the postcards.
