Pour On! Makeup: A Senior Humor or Satire Art Project by Annamari Jaaksi (2014)

For the Humor Unit I paired up with Fiona S. Together we made an infomercial for Pour On! Makeup. We used a lot of exaggerism, hyperboles and absurd humor to bring across how ridiculous infomercials are. After doing some research and watching infomercials, it was clear that we'd need lots of reminders of how amazing our product was and how this was the only chance like, EVER, for you to buy our fabulous product. We also wanted to use a product as ridiculous as pour on makeup, because it is clearly useless. Infomercials often have products that aren't necessary, and we wanted to point that out in our humor piece.

I used Adobe Photoshop to create a poster for the infomercial. I illustrated a TV, and then added a picture of Fiona holding the product as well as information that told the viewer more about the product. The whole point was to make the colors clash, and make the poster look as trashy as possible - we are talking about infomercials after all.
