Stomp Out Racism by Dean Teniswood

Artist's Statement
The reason i created this design and slogan was my thought in this day and age we should not have to tolerate any form of racism any longer. It is time to "STAMP OUT" this from our society. Hence my design. Thank you for the opportunity to express the issue through design and i hope to hear from you soon. Dean Teniswood. Australia.

I have recently finished a graphic design course and now i am working as a freelance designer. I like to incorporate illustration and other hands on art techniques into my computer designs to eliminate the artificial look of the computer and create work that has feeling in it. I originally studied drawing and painting and did not want to let that go to waste when i began using computers for finished art. As the old saying goes "a picture says a thousand words" and i believe the use of a strong graphic attracts a wider audience and promotes an artists message the fastest and strongest way possible. Thank you again for the opportunity to show you my work.

Today the composition and culture of the U.S. are changing rapidly. We need to consider seriously whether we can afford to maintain an exclusively white/Black model of racism when the population will be 32 percent Latino, Asian/Pacific American and Native American--in short, neither Black nor white--by the year 2050." ...
