Logo Outline

376 Entertainment was created in Dubai when the founder was inspired by the idea of changing the view of cultural norms at the time through music.  After a producer/DJ spoke to that creator and discussed the concept of simultaneously promoting young local talent to the forefront of the music industry in the hub of the United Arab Emirates while reaching the rest of the world through common markets. At the time, the expectations of the nationals were not to take part in the leisurely way of relieving stress and entertaining the public that is often popularized on social media platforms. A certain decorum was to be held, and is a belief that he intended the perspective on that many agreed with and wanted to be included in.  The group decided that 376 was to make its name in music to begin with and then expand further into other industries such as travel, cuisine, media production.  In addition, the religion of the country is not as rigid as it is in the rest of the Middle E...

Flyer Thumbnails

  Below are my three thumbnails for the Flyer Project. While rough in style, they capture the essence of the images I am attempting to create. Thumbnail 1 will have the graphic of a silhouetted, expectant Black mother on the left. Strong text with a call to action in the center, and on the right will be a positive pregnancy test placed vertically to also symbolize an exclamation mark. At the bottom of the flyer will be a list of various supporting organizations. Thumbnail 2 will have 4 graphics of organizations, that support the cause being discussed, on the two sides. In the middle will be the call to action, and the graphic at the bottom of an EKG flatlining. Thumbnail 3 will have 2 supporting facts on either side of the flyer, to bring attention the centralized call to action. This will be above a graphic of a mother reaching out to her child with a heartbeat in the center connecting the two. At the bottom will be links to organizations that support the matter at hand.

Answer the Silence

"American women die in childbirth at a higher rate than in any other developed country, while non-Hispanic Black women are more than 3 times more likely to have a maternal death than white women in the United States, according to a review presented at the American Diabetes Association’s 80th Scientific Sessions." This is a statement taken from the website of the American Journal of Managed Care. A study conducted from 1979 to 1992 showed that the amount of deaths per 100,000 people was 25.1 for African American women, 10.3 for Hispanic women, and 6.0 for non-Hispanic white women. When conducted again between 1987 and 1996, the results showed little improvement. It is painfully evident that on top of systemic racial profiling in the justice system, there is no safety for Black Americans in the healthcare system, especially when it comes to mothers in childbirth. Research shows that it is not that white physicians are harming patients with malicious intent but that these patien...

Lockdown of the Human Mind

      The last time humanity experienced a plague on par with the magnitude of COVID-19 was in 1968 when the A(H3H2) virus . Almost every factor that plays into day-to-day life is vastly different between the two time periods.  Since the rise of social media, people have been more aware of events and social welfare on a global scale. There are a plethora of dynamics that the pandemic has brought about, from those that became recluse to the world, to the corporations that capitalize on the state of events, to the voices that call out to reach out and stay connected to unite humanity in an attempt to move forward together.       It is to also be noted that the outbreak did not stop the progress of various social movements and industries which had their own impacts on the global population. This includes the awareness of mental health and methods of assistance from those that are struggling in that area. The damage that the pandemic has caused in reg...
