Thesis Abstract

​

For the Visual Communication, Digital Media Arts (VCDMA) Senior Show of ten legendary icons have been chosen as examples of Black Excellence and are showcased by presenting them in a creative way in their defining moment in life. Black Excellence is beautiful and powerful and can be captured and expressed in many ways.  It can be shown by identifying people who have broken barriers, fulfilled their dreams and achieved success. The road to success was not always an easy task for them They are Superheroes and through their plight in life and their accomplishments, they have inspired others to diligently pursue their dreams. These Superheroes or icons of Black Excellence include Harriet Tubman, Lebron James, Michael Jackson, and others. They come from all walks of life. The expectation for Black Excellence is to pay homage to each icon in a digitalized portrait encased by a stained-glass background offset with vivid colors.
