'Underwater Dreamworld', Kelli Johnson

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

The past two summers I have worked as a kayak/snorkel tour guide in La Jolla. Growing up in Pacific Beach I fell in love with the ocean at a young age so working in the ocean all day was a dream job. I knew I had to combine my passion my photography with my love for the ocean so I bought an underwater film camera and brought them on my snorkel tours. These photos represent the underwater dreamworld I live in and now you can too.

'Face To Face' & 'Man With Red Umbrella', Renee Boettner, Tanner Johnston

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

Face to Face

Prosopagnosia is a neurological condition characterized by the inability to recognize the faces of familiar people, ranging from family members to your own reflection. Millions of people across the world including popular portrait artist Chuck Close live with this disorder. Through a mix of photography and drawing, I strive to capture the feeling of living in a world of strangers.

“A face is a road map of someone’s life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there’s a great deal that’s communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have …

'Along The Coast In 4x5', Connor Bailey

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

I drove up and down the central coast taking pictures of some of my favorite spots from Pismo Beach to Big Sur. Using the large format camera was an experience I’ll never forget!

'Shelter Pups' & 'Slo Climate March', Caroline Silva

Shelter Pups

These photos were taken on November 2, 2019, at the Valley Oak SPCA in Visalia, CA. This place has a special place in my heart because it is where I have gotten every dog I have ever had; my first dog, Scruffy, who I had for 15 years, and my current dogs, Scout and Ranger.

In total, I photographed close to 40 dogs that day who were all hoping to someday soon find their forever homes. I hope that these pictures bring you joy and maybe even inspire you to check out your local animal shelter.

'Kickflip', Noah Sharp

This is Buck – he has buttery kickflips. He likes to skate when he has a lot on his mind. Healthy distractions are good. We should be more like Buck.

'The Discomfort With Femininity', Jo Anna Edmison

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

There is an unspoken discomfort with heterosexual males being perceived as feminine. This discomfort can be attributed to traditional hegemonic masculinity and the weakness/subordination associated with femininity. In order to explore this discomfort further, I decided to photograph four of my male friends without telling them what they would be doing before the shoot.

These are the Hollywood portraits I took of them to make them feel objectified, much many old female Hollywood stars were. The men had varied results and levels of comfortability with being perceived as feminine in any way.

'One Of Its Kind' & 'Nana's Hand', Marissa Gerick, Amanda Vasquez

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

One of its Kind

I like to focus on travel photography and conceptual photography. I’m interested in taking more obscure photos, creating moods when I shoot. Film photography is definitely something I like more because of the process that goes into it.

Furniture by Kevin Vanderzel.

Nana’s Hands

They say you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their hands. In my nana’s hands, I see her unwavering faith. I see the love she had for my grandfather in her wedding band.

In every line and crease, I see strength and wisdom from a woman who has …

'It's A Disease' 'Pretty David' 'The Yellow Star' & 'Born & Inspired', Solena Aguilar, Danielle Sher

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

It’s a Disease

Let’s open the door to the unordinary and see what we can find lurking behind.

Pretty David

I felt that the biblical hero who is a figure of independence needed a makeover.

The Yellow Star

Dedicated to the Jews of the Holocaust who had to submit to the humiliation of wearing a bright yellow star, which is today worn proudly as a symbol of strength within the newer generations. Scan the QR code for the full performance.

Born & Inspired

This poster illustrates fifty-five inspirational women born in each of the fifty-five American states and territories. This …

Little Horses & Mindless: Please Press Pause!, Molly Morris, Linda Wald

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

Little Horses

Spring is a season of newness, life, and growth. Cal Poly’s foals are born throughout spring quarter here, and it is such a treat to be able to watch them explore what it means to be alive. They grow into strong working animals in a short time, but for the spring, at least, they are small.

Mindless: Please Press Pause!

In the current political climate in the United States, normalcy rests in divisiveness, daily media lies, and inaccuracies. There are unclear moral and ethical precepts. With mass and social media slamming these concepts in our face, minute-by-minute, I …

Women, Lily De La Peña

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

I first transferred to Cal Poly in Fall 2017 with only a series of images of women in water. That series was to show women in a vulnerable state of not knowing what lies in our future as women. Fast forward to our current state of 2019 being a woman in today’s society still sucks, as people are still stripping women of their rights.

As my women series grows and blossoms into something more, I want to promote feminism with the women I have photographed in my time at Cal Poly. These women I have photographed have all impacted me …

21 Years, Fiona Carlsen

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

This year for my birthday, my Dad and I went on a trip to Las Vegas. He used to live there, so he showed me around to all the cool spots he remembered from the ’80s. Here are some photos from Red Rocks National Monument in Nevada. The left ones were taken on 120 film and the right ones are taken on a 35mm point & shoot.

Posters As Journals, Nick Imbriale

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

Digital art enables me to subjectively express myself, which I sometimes yearn for when doing graphic design work. These posters serve as an index of my state of mind at the moments they were created. Although abstract, my work uses typography, shape, and light to communicate specific yet tenuous moods and atmospheres that can stand in for my journal entries.
