This is one of my very first screen printed posters. I just recently completed the class and I now want to further a career with screen printing my designs on apparel. This poster represents the support and solidarity of fighting against sex abuse. It sparked my interest to create this design when the story first came out about the Olympic and Michigan state doctor/trainer. When the story came out it definitely made me want to let the girls know that I am one of their supporters and I feel sympathetic for them. I also made this because I wanted to bring more awareness to the subject for our school, especially athletes like me who are potential victims to this kind of behavior. I chose to include the words "stop sex abuse" because now that the story isn't in the news and is not being talked about anymore, I wanted people to still know that this is what the poster was about. If I were to not have the words, it would just look like a poster that a little girl would want to hang in her bedroom and think it is just to support gymnasts when it is to help protect them from monsters like the doctor who molested the girls.
