This is a part of our Coil project. We are focusing our research on teenage pregnancy and human trafficking. These images are ones that I made up on Photoshop and it focuses on human trafficking.

With some of the research that I have done, I read that some of the targets of human trafficking are women. In specifics, women in rural areas, foreigners and sadly even children.

I made this image based on a child that is sort of a form of currency representative of human traficking. There are some images that surround the child, like building structures, and a straw-like texture. The building is to represent that these victims are being pushed into these metropolitan areas against their will and the straw hat texture is to symbolize these people being ripped away from their rural communities to work.

Group 7 Layout Ideas: We were aiming to find a way to depict the issues that women face, and possibly a way of empowering women through a design. Dludu Clinton's sketches which consist of the first three are powerful depictions that women will find difficulties in their lives in a corporate environment. Personally, I feel like that this is the direction to go in as it's a design that feels current with the current society and it is something that will help a viewer, even a viewer that may not feel like this issue affects them. One thing we are debating is whether the idea is visually descriptive enough, and how these visuals will fit in a composition.

Many women around the world are harassed, abused, and disrespected due to their external appearance. Our focus for the COIL project is to illustrate the illusory nature of the feminine appearance.

We have taken influence from artists like Gio Swaby, Kara Walker, and Tonyin Odutala in presenting women in silhouette with overlying patterns and prints.

The first layout takes inspiration from all three of these artists. The viewer is put in the perspective of a person casting a preconceived notion onto a woman and as a result have a flat, 2D image of her person.

This is part of Group 19's coil project. We are focusing on teenage pregnancy and human trafficking. The illustration above tells the journey of a teen girl in South Africa on how her teen pregnancy begin and how it evolved into her desire of having a father in her life.

This is my part of Group 3's coil project. We chose to focus more on the cultural and social norms of South African woman but as we each did our research and designs I've realized that our designs highlight gender inequality. So now our goal is to express their diverse culture while also showing their challenges physically and emotionally in a gender-based society.

Inspired by vintage pop-art, I am illustrating South American and South African women taking on different modern roles, and it makes them nothing less than just women! These will appear in the form of classic stamps. My group and I are moving forward with highlighting the positive aspects of being a woman, in whichever role they play in our lives.

# data[].attributes.body
In the topic of Who Women Are my group and I have decided to explore the positive aspects of being a woman in South Africa, restoring what we feel Western feminism is taking away from women( SA women are often influenced by western cultures) and confronting the lies that modern feminism is selling to women.

We will be exploring the beauty of women being able to decide which roles they want to take in life, eg, mothers, wives, nurtures, workers, entrepreneurs etc. We will also be empowering women to start embracing the unique differences between them and men.

Our illustrations will be featured by a poem that I wrote to empower women and to encourage them to take pride in who they were born to be.

For our project, we want to bring awareness of the abuse that many women go through and receive simply because they're women.

The two images on the left are the actual poster and on the right are our sketches and ideas for designing the concept.

Using vector style illustrations, I will highlight the imporance and power of being a woman. I will illustrate South African women indulging in roles like being a mother and nurturer, showing different roles in society which don't not depend on a job title. This project will showcase the positive aspects of womanhood regardless of which path they choose in life.

While trying to figure out ideas as of what we should do our research topic on, my group member Yathi Bhokoloshe made a collage photo of a Xhosa woman with a bunch of smaller images and the idea of multiple hands reaching out to a woman choking her; preventing her from speaking immediately came to mind for me upon seeing his collage. So really, I thank Yathi for the inspiration behind my final project!

This is part of our project. We are focusing on the union of women and promoting public resources in any part of the world. In South America, one of the biggest problems is the fear of speaking and being alone with this poster we aim to remind people that women are not less nor an object of reproduction. In my posters, I focused on representing the highest rates of events in South America, such as child pregnancy, domestic violence, femicide, and the right to education.

Mood boards/Poster Layout.

I wanted to incorporate one of my peer's ideas to represent women from both S. Africa & L atin America into one poster, against Femicide and gender-based violence. Purple is a crucial element for this movement, so it is important to represent and incorporate it into the piece.

# data[].attributes.body
In our piece, we want to depict women breaking societal norms between men and women. Each woman wears a crown, symbolizing leadership and strength, countering cultural norms rooted in my partner's South African Zulu heritage. This visual statement boldly asserts that women can break free from traditional gender roles. The attire, crafted through a digital collage, feature motifs representing resilience and unity in overcoming adversity.

These are my concept sketches. The first would have all women artists in the back, depicting how music by women help millions of women get through things in their life. The other two are depicting how women in music are incredibly influential, but always looked down on because they are women. My favorite one is the second one

Plenty of women all across the world are abused, disrespected and harrassed because of their gender and how they look on the outside. The aim for our COIL project is to illustrate women empowerment in art. in other words, everything art related that a woman can do. We chose to focus on writing, photography and music as the forms of art.

Artists like Gio Swaby, Kara Walker and Tonyin Odutula are our influences.

Presenting all that women can bring to art but in colour, silhouettes and patterns as a medium.

Work-life balance for women (Carien van Eck - Jacobs)

# data[].attributes.body
“Work-life balance for women,” I delved into the multifaceted nature of the issue and explored creative ways to visually represent it in the poster titled “The Balancing Act”. We discussed how women often juggle multiple responsibilities, from professional obligations to family care, and the challenge of maintaining self-care amidst these pressures. The concept of balance emerged as central to my theme, symbolising the constant effort women make to find harmony in their lives.

My visual idea centers around a greyish background to convey the neutrality and seriousness of the topic, while incorporating pink and blue elements that stand out, representing the feminine and dynamic aspects of women’s lives. The contrasting colors also signify the tension between different roles and the need for equilibrium. We felt this approach would effectively communicate the struggle and emphasize the importance of prioritizing self-care as part of achieving balance.

Why educating women and girls important:

•Empowerment:

Education empowers women and girls to challenge  stereotypes and societal norms.

•Economical opportunity:

Educational provides women and girls with the skills and knowledge to earn high incomes and secure better jobs.

•Health and well-being:

Educated women are mor likely to be informed about health care and nutrition, and to have healthier children.

•Family planning:

Educated women  are less likely to marry as children and to become pregnant and young mothers.

•Social justice:

Educated women can become agents of change within their communities, promoting gender equality and social justice.

My concept:

•My poster will show importance of education, where pencil will create clear path for women to symbolize education.

•Using lots of misleading roads to show without education women and girls were lost .

•Illustrating a girl going to an education path to have a better bright future.

Skeleton of the Woman: The skeleton represents how society strips women of their vitality, reducing them to mere figures without room for individuality or personal growth. The lack of flesh emphasizes the conformity demanded by societal standards.

Broken Heart: The fragmented heart symbolizes the emotional pain and sacrifice of conforming to these expectations. Its shattered pieces spilling to the ground reflect the loss of self, dreams, and identity under societal pressure.

Her Knowledge, Her Freedom: The first concept is based off my driving statement "knowledge is freedom". It shows the gesture of passing a book from one person to another. Just as the woman receives the book, her shackles begin to fall off. I wanted to promote the idea that education liberates and empowers people, and it takes other women with the knowledge to share what they know to others.

Quench Her Mind: This concept shows a bust of a woman with her mind appearing like a growing bush. The text above her drips like water, and vines shoot from her mind. This concept was meant to be a direct message to women to encourage them to never stop pursuing knowledge and knowing more. It's a beautiful endeavor to learn and grow in wisdom and understanding.

No Wall Too High: This final concept shows a monochromatic environment with women behind the wall and barbed wire. On the side facing the viewer is a girl standing on a stack of books to reach over and give a book to one of the women on the other side. It's meant to express the oppression that women experience and how education and the help of other women can overcome even the highest of walls. This is the concept that I will be moving forward with for my final work.

Cultural and social norms affecting women.

# data[].attributes.body
(Group 9)

Women face distinct challenges and opportunities shaped by cultural practices, societal norms, and legal rights. Across numerous regions globally, women's rights movements have advocated for gender equality, encompassing suffrage, reproductive rights, and equitable opportunities in education and the workforce. I chose to focus on body image in terms of modern modifications and traditional modifications involving culture. We found articles that discuss how cultural and social norms of dress code standards impact women and

articles specially focusing on how cultural and social norms around body image impact women.
