Anh Phoong, a renowned personal injury lawyer in the Bay Area, recently faced controversy when she initiated a billboard design contest offering only $500 as a prize. Reacting to backlash regarding fair compensation for creatives, she significantly increased the prize to $5,000. The winning design by Asia Lamela creatively echoes Rosie the Riveter, celebrating women's empowerment, particularly relevant in today's socio-political climate. The work was designed using a combination of AI technology and traditional brush techniques, connecting with Phoongâs brand philosophy and challenging current political narratives about women's roles in the workforce.
Phoong expressed appreciation for the billboard designâs message of women's empowerment, highlighting a contemporary 'rough raw woman' aesthetic in line with her brand.
Despite initial backlash over the $500 prize for a billboard design contest, Phoong responded by increasing the amount to $5,000 to support creatives adequately.
Asia Lamela drew inspiration from Rosie the Riveter, merging AI technology with traditional techniques to create an empowering image that resonates with Bay Area culture.
