The Idea
The main idea that I wanted to work with for demonstrating this article was the strong and powerful headshots of the towns people. I could have easily played off making this a very patriotic style display, but the word “patriotic” really only refers to White Americans. Our nations is a nations of immigrants, people from all different races and cultures. I wanted to show that we are strong as individuals but more stronger and powerful together.
The Design
The design is simple because I really wanted to focus on the strength of the towns people headshots. Out of the all of the headshots and photos of the headshots displayed around the town, I thought the headshots alone were so strong and powerful on their own. The message I wanted to display conveying two half faces together was that we are all one human race. We all look and believe in different things, but we are all the same on the inside. I did not want to use ostentatious text formatting because I wanted it to be an easy read paired with the strength of the pictures.
