Week 6

Assignment: Mash-up2, take photos and combine them to convey a message to the audience.

Craft: 

I used photoshop to combine the pictures i took. I used the the lasso tool to cut out ronald mcdonalds face and an overweight guys body and inserted it on to my background of the track in the shannon center. I also used the eraser to clean up the edges around the face and body. Furthermore, i used the scale option to make sure the face and body were porpotional and finished it up with a hue/saturation plus brightness/contrast tool to blend all three pictures together.

Composition:

One thing i didn't incorporate was the guys legs because of the angle i took of the track i would have to erase all the railing bars that were infront of him because i had him leaning on a railing. I am going to fix this up with my final draft by taking a picture of someone overweight actually struggling in running on the track. Also, i'd like to incorporate the American flag and a flag of mcdonalds or such.

Concept:

I had to totally change my original concept, which was to show the presence of poverty in modern society to who really runs America. I am going to convey this message by showing an overweight person running on the track, but struggling. This person is going to have the face of ronald mcdonald. I want him to be maybe dragging the American flag and running with a mcdonalds flag.
