assignment 2
For assignment two, I don't have anything far along enough to post an image. I have gotten three usable images of toys from commercials off the net and have selected out the portions I will eventually use. I am undecided about the background still. I can't decide between a background with money scattered, or if I should find an image of a poverty stricken area in the United States and arranging the items to contrast the idea of what children are shown everyday on tv with the sad reality of many of their lives. My overall statement for this assignment is that kids are told everyday that the toys and other commercial goods for sale on tv are crucial for their happiness. But with the economic hardships that have touched so many lives, many families are struggling to meet basic survival needs. The hard times are not reflected at all in the excess of products that are in our faces everywhere we turn.

Summer,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this idea and can not wait to see how it turns out conceptual I like both ideas that you have come up with I think either background would make an idea or maybe you could even use both backgrounds and make one transparent since both the ideas are portraying similar things. Hope this helps you come up with something.
I really like this idea!! It sounds like it will turn out great! :) The one thing I would recommend is maybe use both the money and the poverty stricken image as the background. Just drop the opacity on one. Personally, I would put the poverty image in the back and put the money over it (with the dropped opacity of course) to show how society puts the economy and money and little things over the needs and the problems other people are having. But that's just me. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
