Artist Statement:

The meaning behind this project symbolizes how as a young Black male, we are commonly viewed as a threat to society. I believe that the picture goes well with the piece because of the expression on my face almost as if I was angry at the world around me.

    Dan, I think that the poster you have created is very powerful. You are sending a strong message and it is coming across exactly how I imagine you want it to. I agree that the photo you chose is perfect, your expression definitely shows anger, and it's perfect for the BLM movement. The target behind your head and the words "I am not a target" covering the background portrays the strong message. I really enjoyed this piece.

    the effect you used here and the artistic style of the poster overall feels very well constructed. The message feels strong clear, and the image itself feels really well organized. I cant think of anything that would make the project better or think of anything to change. It all feels really well rounded.

 For this project I was able to edit my original black and white log using the brush tool to create a logo tag. The blending of the colors and the ability to distort my original logo has definitely enhanced the project.

6 Pre Somewhere Assignment 1. So the second photo I really like because there are random celebrities photoshopped in the photo as well. Also The first photo would be difficult to photoshop myself into simply because the skin tones are so different that it would be very difficult to change it.  https://www.instagram.com/kirbyjenner/?hl=en 2. This image inspired me to post in a solid scene in a show because his entire outfit, demeanor, what he's doing, and the way he was sitting all match what would happen in this show. For my project I plan on matching the same demeanor that is going on in whichever photo I choose. https://www.instagram.com/averagerob/ 3. The only edit that I truly laughed at was surprisingly the last one because the unedited picture is funny itself because he does look uncomfortable and just awkward standing there. And as a result the edit with the towel over his face is funny because it almost embodies his facial expression.  https://www.boredpanda.com/funny-photo

 7 So I enjoyed this project because not only could I use one of my favorite television shows, but I was able to use pictures I took on halloween and utilize my halloween costume. Overall, adding my image to the actual image in place of the main character Thomas Shelby was quite difficult as I had trouble getting my body to look proportionate to the rest of the characters in the image. Then I had the difficulty of getting the brightness and contrast to match the rest of the image and overall feel of the picture. While the editing was somewhat tedious,  I believe it worked out in the end.
