The three subjects for my Black History Month project are Charlie Parker, Wayne Simien and Gale Sayers. Charlie Parker was a very influential improvising soloist in jazz. I’m a big lover of music and creating music, so Charlie Parker seemed like an obvious choice for me. Wayne Simien and Gale Sayers are both athletes. I love basketball and I can appreciate football. Wayne Simien is still quite young compared to the rest of the choices I had and I feel I can maybe use that as a sort of design concept for his poster. I’m thinking about making his a little more modern compared to the others. Gale Sayers is a Hall of Fame Pro Football player from Wichita, Kansas. Since I’m from Wichita, I thought it was pretty cool that a Hall of Famer came from the place I was born and raised.
