Hairspray: Awareness Photograph

"No Dumping I Live Downstream!"

I am sure everyone has seen those drains around school that say "No Dumping I Live Downstream!" There are many students who don't care and they should because students are polluting the home of the ducks that live underneath the drains. It is important to clean around the drains and pick up trash that is left behind. We want to make sure these ducks live a clean and uncontaminated life.

Describe: I purposely made this image look dark so that I could express the darkness underneath the drains when the homes of the ducks get polluted. So When I look at this image I see darkness. I also see trash that is around the drain. There is also many sticks from pine trees that fall and go into the drains.

Analyze: When I look at this photograph, I see texture, lines, and shape. I see the pattern that the drain is made of, I see lines from the pine tree sticks and from the drain, I also see squares.

Interpret: Through this image I just wanted to express why we need to make sure trash doesn't go downstream because ducks live underneath the drain.

Judge: Overall, I am very happy with my final image. I made the image look dark, added a black and white contrast, and I think the message will be successfull.
