Art Works Jobs Poster

I chose to design my poster in support of small businesses because I feel emotionally tied to this particular section of The American Jobs Act. As a graphic designer looking to one day run my own small design firm, I believe that small businesses are an integral part of America’s economy. Not only are they a source of great innovation but more often than not they are driven by passion. My design represents how small businesses are essential to driving economic opportunity, fostering creativity, and encouraging detail-oriented work. To represent these ideals, I illustrated different store fronts all over a map of the country. Using the phrases “Small Businesses - Great Differences” in succession makes this something one could easily remember. The ending phrase, “We Need You,” can be thought of in two ways: 1. a statement directed towards Americans encouraging them to support their local and small businesses and 2. a statement directed to the small businesses as they are needed to help promote a healthy American economy.
