Social Justice 

Introduction: 

    The world has suffered several years of discrimination regarding race, especially common within the early years of humanity. Throughout the conflict, individuals and organizations attempted to resolve this violation of human rights, however the majority had none to a low degree of impact. This is determine to be a global crisis, yet having tremendous presence in the United States of America. The issue of enslavement has endured many critiques to where it is found to be the source of  the boom in racism.

Examples of Racism: 

-Artificial Intelligence 

"Buolamwini and Gebru’s 2018 research concluded that some facial analysis algorithms misclassified Black women nearly 35 percent of the time, while nearly always getting it right for white men. A subsequent study by Buolamwini and Raji at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology confirmed these problems persisted with Amazon’s software."

-Youth /Juvenile  Justice 

"Racial inequities pervade every stage of the juvenile legal system. Black and brown young people are more likely than their white peers to be stopped and harassed by the police.[74] This increases the likelihood of future arrest: Black young people who come into contact with the police by eighth grade have eleven times greater odds of being arrested in young adulthood.[75] Once arrested, Black young people are four times as likely to be detained as white young people.[76] Black young people comprise just fifteen percent of the US youth population, but forty-one percent of those confined in juvenile facilities.[77] Black children are also disproportionately likely to be charged as adults.[78] Indeed, eighty percent of young people serving life sentences are children of color, and more than fifty percent are Black.[79] The traumas of incarceration—which are especially acute for children in adult prisons and include sexual abuse, solitary confinement, and death by suicide—therefore fall too often on children of color, especially Black youth.[80]"

-Racial Discrimination in the Criminal Legal System

"Article 2(1) of ICERD states that States Parties need to pursue the elimination of racial discrimination in all its forms. ICERD prohibits discriminatory practices and requires that States Parties “take effective measures to review governmental, national and local policies, and to amend, rescind or nullify any laws which have the effect of creating or perpetuating discrimination.”[35] Additionally, Article 5 guarantees equality before the law, including “the right to equal treatment before tribunals and all other organs administering justice”;[36] and article 6 requires states to guarantee “effective protection and remedies, through competent national tribunals,” against acts of racial discrimination.[37]"

Pencil Logo roughs  Reflection:      As showcased above I provided ten unique drafts regarding my brand. Orbit ADesigns, Orbit, revolving around a certain piece of matter. This provides a universal style, being open to any part of the world and being marked as a important portfolio.  For the roughs, to connect with the orbit theme I provided a planet and stars to revolve around the words Adesign, referring to how my designs atmosphere is near perfection. Skyline designs,   the line where earth and sky or water and sky seem to meet. All of the three elements suggest different all of the terms seen in typography and other. Also influencing an outlook of thinking outside the box. For the roughs, when one hears skyline one thinks of architecture which I believe to specialize within the future. It publishes a outlook of a city with skyscrapers from the sunset. AVisualizer, t he ability to hear a story and have a mental image about the text or artworks. This woul...

  Creating this spread was about using colors and visuals to tell a powerful story. Red dominated, bringing urgency and intensity to the message. I picked Franklin Gothic for a bold, modern touch and Georgia for readability, aiming to strike a balance between impact and approachability. Graphic photos added emotion, aiming to show the harsh reality of discrimination. Playing with transparency created layers, symbolizing the obscured truth surrounding these issues. I crafted vectors like glasses with words about discrimination, acting as a symbolic lens for readers. Light piercing through pages represented the need to shine a light on societal injustices. X marks on an image of a black person highlighted society's neglect, urging reflection on harsh realities. In big letters, "I can't breathe" took center stage, echoing today's urgent societal cry. This spread aimed for simplicity with a strong message. It's about sparking thought and inspiring collective actio...
