“There will be one on every corner”
The political environment became toxic during the last U.S. election with quips, largely sarcastic, that were perceived as truth. Individuals of stature say what they want, when they want, with no diplomacy. They have been granted that freedom to speech. The divide is great and a wall could be the answer. Who’s to say? A united reaction is the answer but complacency is our greatest enemy.
This piece asks you to become the author and continue the discussion. The fence holds the key to my position.
Topic exploration. Fact or fiction. Journalism used to be investigative, fair, balanced and as factual as they can be but sensationalism has taken us down a path to see what we want to see. I expressed my opinion as factually and as cleanly. The under pinning was the making of propaganda. Expressing the hard lines, solid colors and illustrative style through Adobe’s Illustrator. It needed that vector quality to retain the sharpness of the subject. A photoshoot was staged for reference to illustrate the characters climbing the fence. Making it factual. The project had several iterations (10) before landing on this final outcome.
