As part of the N’we Jinan / InPath programme who help native Canadian youth in the arts, I was commissioned to create artwork for a group from Fishing Lake Metis Settlement for their song “We Are Strong”.
With no art direction for this project, and without hearing the song first, I cut out the kids from the supplied image and set it to a bold, red backdrop as a signifier of strength.
I would use equally bold typography with a contemporary urban feel to it to represent the typically pop-infused Hip-Hop and R&B created by the youth who work with N’we Jinan / InPath.
The above graphic was created for Instagram stories to promote the video for the single. Various other social media graphics followed the same theme.
