ARTIST STATEMENT

I've always made it a point to myself that within any design project I was assigned that I apply my unique style into it. I am Antonio Garcia, a graduating senior with a B.S. in Visual Communication & Digital Media Arts, with a concentration in advertising design. The interesting thing is that I didn't know I wanted to pursue graphic design at a young age, in fact, I stumbled upon my new passion while in college. However, I’ve always enjoyed creating things and being creative just through other means. 

​

My senior Thesis Project aims to exemplify the purpose and concept of the R&B artist named Sabria Larae. Sabria Larae is a contemporary soul and R&B artist that aims to create therapeutic music through her lyrics and beats. As a musical artist, she values the mental wellness of her listeners.  My role, as the graphic designer, is to ultimately communicate her purpose through commercial uses of art that market Sabria Larae, but also creates and maintains a notable brand for her.
