Social Justification

Overfishing is becoming a huge problem for the global population. With numbers of fish stock rapidly and exponentially decreasing, the worlds oceans are being netted into an oblivion. How would we feel if our populations become caught in the nets of some other species, causing our culture to teeter on the precipice of extinction. My piece illustrates this idea, and opens your eyes to the problem before us. I used movement, and similar colors to tie the images together, and create what I think to be a strong and meaningful piece of propaganda. To add a personal flare to this image, I added silhouettes of people I actually know in real life, and put them in the path of destruction before the net. I even created a logo for an imaginary foundation against the overfishing of the world's oceans.

  1. Good job with developing your idea. I like the way you built this image using your own photographs and creating layered silhouettes. I think the message is a bit challenging to grasp right away. Maybe the stop overfishing message would be stronger with more water imagery or colors.
