“Make a Statement”.

1. My Targer audience is people in communities who believe in the unfair punishment police show towards people.

2. I want people to know that I personally know about the unnecesary treatment police give out. I also want then to know that this is jsut food for thought I'm not sure if there is anything we can do because some polive abuse their power and make it seem as though we are powerless.

3. This topis intriged me because I have had police hit my cousins when there was no reason. i find it unfair that someone with such power for good finds it necessary to use it for bad. It disapoints me that this is what it has come to brutally beating on people just because they can. it enrages me.

4. I believe i could have done better with my picture because it doesn't show all the emotion I have towards this topic. I think it only shows little of what I feel. I could have done better.

5. http://www.uniform.name/pics/30020_big.jpg - this is for the cop uniform

i cant seem to find the link for the prisoner uniform.

Human Rights Issue: Neighborhood Violence
Neighborhood violence is a problem in almost all inner city/ urban areas. The homicide count is well over 70 so far this year... Which speaks for itself. Gang violence in particular is a big issue because it amplifies the volume of violence in communities because of rivalries. This image is targeted to anyone who lives in the city and is a teenager. They're usually victims to things such as gang affiliation and neighborhood violence.
I want people to know that there is almost no reasonable explanation for being in a gang. Some of this country's most notorious gangs reside in California in places such as Compton and LA. Most of these teenagers that join a gang are looking for protection but have no idea what the origin of the gang is and what exactly they're fighting for besides assaulting, or killing someone who's wearing a color not affiliated with their gang.
This topic is important to me because I want the younger generation of gang members to realize that when they do join gangs (such as crips or bloods) they're putting their life in risk even while in the comfort of their own homes, simply because they wear a different flag color. Most of these teens are of the same race and most likely reside within the same area or neighborhood. There is nothing wrong with uniting with the ones you care for and protecting them when they need it, but these gang members are senselessly killing eachother because of what color they rep.
I don't know if I will be very successful in convincing someone in a gang that it's not worth it, but if common sense can't convince someone that a color isn't worth fighting for then I don't know what good this will do. I hope they can at least comprehend the statement I'm trying to make and realize that there are other ways to remain safe without resulting to violence. This image was originally a photo of the Compton Crips, I edited it to be Bloods and Crips in the same photo by changing the color of their flags so it looks like they're together. The reason for this is to show that they are ultimately the same people fighting eachother based on a color solely.

1. My target audience is pointed to the whole world but mainly our government and the president because instead of our troops being in Iraq fighting over oil they can be doing something benefiting their needs.
2. I want my audience to take action and go help. I want my audience to see how much pain these people are going through and help out.
3. My topic is so important to me because the world promised that this would never happen again in 1945 now 2006 and the epidemic has once again happened
   
4. I believe I was successful in getting my message across the picture is like a comparison of the two how they both are similar and how in both the people being targeted are fleeing from their homes

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

making a statement

1) The target audience is every american who opposes the war in iraq.

2) I want the audience to help bring home our safely to there familys and friends.

3) The reason why the topic is so important to me is because a was never a person who agreed that we should have went into iraq so now i think that its time to bring home the troops.

4) I think that I was successful in getting my point across because the picture shows the troops coming off the plane with a calender that symbolizes that we ave been in iraq for to long.

Make A Statement

This manipulated photo is a picture of violence in our communities that leads on to murals scenes and open caskets that shows what’s going on in the world when it comes to murdering other people over nothing important. My target audience is the crowd in the world today "the people around you and the gang bangers that never sleep." The action that I want the target audience to take in or consume is that if you look around yourself you'll see children, which makes children the future and they take in anything that they see in the streets today from language to violence, which means that it's an never cycle in the world today. This topic is important to my because if I look around me my whole is based on the that’s going on in my life because it's a day to day going, but never let it stop me from me being myself in life. Yes, but then again no because I get my point across to people all around but not that much people are going to just avoid the "words are stronger than actions" and that my opinion about this, so far.

My targeted audience is younger childrren of our age. I chose to target this audience so the kids would make the wrong decision hanging out on the streets. I chose to use this as a message towards the children to help them choose the right path early so they won' t mess up, but only create nothing but a go path ahead of them. I chose this message to let them know that their are consequences to the decisions that they make. Also I would like to let the kids know that it's a hard world out there and if they make the wring choices they can end up in places that they don't want to be.

I would want my audience to stay off the street and find something productive to do. I chose this picture because i want my audience to know the consequences of their actions if they were to mess up and do something that they will regret. What I want my audience to do is stay out of jail and stay in school to do better later on in life. This picture basically tells my audience that I want them to stay out of the court house and being sentence years in prison. Also I want my audience to not be a victim of the court by making the wrong choices when you wasn't supposed too.

I think this is an important topic because to many kids now a days are going to jail for making the wrong choices. Also teens who commit crimes are being charged as adults. I think this is very important subject because the state is also spending to much money on jail houses and not enough on school supply. I believe that my subject is important because kids need to be set on the right path to success instead of resulting to violence. I think that it is important to keep kids out of jail because they are our future and need to lead sucess full lives instead of hurting and stealing from others.

I think that I am sucessful in getting my point across because it shows the consequences of the wrongs choices. It helps the kids realize what would happen to them if they were to go down the wrong path. I am sucessful in getting my point across because it shows people how young kids can be convicted of a crime. I think that i am sucessful in getting my point because it helps people choose the path to take. I think that I got my point across because it shows people how young kids are starting to get locked up in jail.

My target audience is the neighborhood community and the gangs. I am trying to target them so the violence in the street would stop and there could be peace. I the neighbor hood gangs to no that violence isn’t the answer to all their problems. They don’t have to fight and kill to get a point across. There is all ways another way to get back at somebody for doing you wrong and violence isn’t it.
This topic is important to anybody that lives or have family in bad areas were there is gangs. Each time I watch or hear the news there is always a report that some little girl or boy was gun down in a cross fire between to gang members. So many mothers lost there innocent children to gang violence in there neighborhood. In this picture I think I am successful in getting my point across. In this picture I have a bunch of people with guns and their eyes are cut out.
Their eyes are cut out because of the saying an eye for eye will make the world blind. Which means that if some one hits you have a choice if you want to hit them or not. The fire in the back is the destruction of the world if this happens and the dove represents peace. My words and my pictures are perfect for to represent my point.
