My senior thesis is titled “How COVID-19 has Affected Black Students.” The purpose behind selecting this topic is to bring awareness to how much this pandemic has affected the lives of black students. To execute my vision, I wanted to use a combination of my graphic design and digital art skills. I chose to create digital portraits of four Bowie State students. They are all side profiles of them wearing masks with two of them facing the left and the other two facing the right. While capturing their side profiles, I was able to interview them, getting their experiences and opinions on the Coronavirus pandemic. Along with this, they were able to share activities that they have done to stay occupied during the pandemic. Researched information regarding COVID-19 in Maryland is also included.
