The target audience for this picture is mostly boys That are between the ages of 14-21 in the Dorchester, Mattapan and Roxbury areas. I dont know much about other town in Boston but I know that in these areas there is alot of gun violence going on and I know that its been greatly effecting youth particularly the boys in these neighborhoods.My reason for creating this image is to let people know that thousands are people are dying due to gun violence. I want my audience to realize that not only are there popele dying but that they can do something about. That they can make a diffrence by not feeding into the sterotypes and to stop killing eachother. And that by stoping the violence they can save alot of people.
The topic of gun violence is extremely important to me becasue it effects me too. I worry that even though my older brother isnt associated with any gang related people that one day he could die due to gun violence. This topic is also important to me because I have a little brother and I'm worried about his safty becasue of the way teen boys today are freely taking eachothers lives.
I think that creating this picture I successfully got my point across. I believe that I accomplished exactly what I wanted to. By puting the words in the grass I made it easy to see the thousands of people that die each year because of gun violence and I think that all of the tombstones will grab the attention of the audience.
I got the picture above from inauspicious.org
