This picture display the unforgiving families and friends from September 11 terrorist attack upon the United State. The reason I picked this picture is because I believe during this period it was very significant to American people; especially those who lost their love ones. Overall, thousands of innocent people died.a) WHY do you think it was altered? (what about the image makes it look altered)
I think this picture was altered because of the different images manipulate to form a more powerful picture to show the event that is concerning. For example, in this picture you can see the World Trade Center blended in with the American flag and the Constitution, while the Statue of Liberty head is blended in the stars of the American flag. With these pictures put together we know the message that it is being said; in this case the message is about the tragedy of September 11 terrorist attacked on America killing innocent people.
b) WHO was the target audience?
I think the target audience for this picture is more about the American people; especially those who lost their love ones in the disaster of terrorist attack. This picture is dedicate that we will always remember and honor those who risked their lives to rescue the people and the death of the innocent people.
c) WHAT is the impact/intention of the image?
The impact of combining these images into one is because when they are formed as one picture it creates a more powerful image in showing a better understanding for the viewer. For example, if you only had an image of the American flag your first thought would be it symbolize America, but if you add in the World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty, and the Constitution it creates and symbolize a different meaning. Now instead of symbolizing for America with the American flag, it symbolize the tragedy of September 11 terrorist attacked on America with the three other images added to the picture. The intention of this image is to show the remembrance of the tragedy happen on September 11, 2001 what U.S. has gone through.
