WELCOME!
I am a media student at leyton sixth form college. Welcome to my website, it is here to promote my entry to the international reggae poster competition.
​
This is my poster/ entry for the international reggae competition.
​
My initial idea was to have a lion and then a woman in front of it to represent Rastafarian in woman, because in Rastafarian culture women are seen as queen's by their husbands. Rastafarian women mainly stay home looking after their kids. Women must not wear makeup, dress in promiscuous clothing, or use chemicals in their hair so that their natural beauty can shine through. I felt that it was important message, but I hand painted my lion I thought having the woman would cover up the lion.
​
The meaning behind the lion is to represent Haile Selassie who was an important figure for the Rastafarian's community. That's the reason I wanted to showcase the lion in my poster.
These are the entries from 2017
