Afrofuturism Poster Project To create this project we first researched a historical black figure that has impacted native African/African-American community. My hidden figure in the poster (left) is Gerald Wilson. He was a jazz composer that specialized in playing the trumpet. The shadowy figure is him and the flag below is from where he is from, Mississippi. He is playing the trumpet which is blowing out musical notes and a colorful misty background around it, as well as a blur around the whole image.
