shoot 3



For the third shoot I wanted to make some sort of political/campaign poster. I think the campaign part is a bit of a flop but the political aspect came off rather successful. The idea was to make some sort of comment of socialist issues and the fear in america of social programs. The hands are there to represent a question. A question of whether they represent hand outs, an offering or asking. I feel this can be interpruted all three ways. For the me the interesting notion is that the viewer can decide which of the three ways to interpret the hands and there meaning. The mask is to represent fear, the fear mentioned of social programs. I made two different versions for crit cause I couldn't decide which I liked better. After the crit it was agreed that the darker one was the best. I looked to propaganda posters/imagery to refrence. I included a few of those.
