Advertising Disruption
Project Statement:
From doing this project I was able to learn a lot about the world of advertising by being exposed to many different ads and putting them together for comparison and contrast. for my collage I used ripped and folded advertisements from magazines and newsletters. I used four editing tools on Photoshop, they were: changing hue/saturation, liquefy, pixilation, and paint. The images I used for this project were ones that appealed to me or ones that I could relate to in some way. This project allowed me to learn more about Photoshop and explore different advertisements.

Gender/Stereotype
-Girls are too emotional
I chose to focus on a gender stereotype for this photo. I am lucky to not receive a lot of stereotypes in my life, however ones that do affect me tend to be ones that stereotype my gender. As a female, or girl, I have always experienced saying like "Girls are too weak" "Girls can't do that, only boys can" and things like that One stereotype that I find comes up in the media today is "Girls are too emotional". I have had this said to me a lot, so I thought I would use it for my Gender/Stereotype Photo. This is said a lot about women who want to have a powerful job, it is used as a way to make their emotions make them seem unfit for a job or position. I think this stereotype is mean and unfair, a stereotype does not define you and your gender does not define your emotions.
Concealing Identity
This photo was meant to hide who you really are and for you to take on another identity. When I think of concealing or hiding oneself, I think of a mask, something that covers your face, your identity. For this photo I did not want to wear something different, I wanted to truly hide who I was, so you could only see me if you came close, like I am in the picture. The mask allows you to see someone's eyes and mouth, that's about it. It can be colourful, or dull, it can match your personality, or it can display a completely new one. This mask not only covers my face, concealing who I am, but I can take on another personality, I am not myself in this mask. Taking this photo I understand why some people change the way they look and hide who they really are, it is so they can become someone newer, better or worse, nicer or meaner, happier or sadder.
Untitled Film Still
This photo was supposed to take inspiration from one of Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills, it was supposed to, in a way, look like a cinematography shot, in that the viewer could elaborate on the photo. For this piece I wanted to show someone hiding or running away from someone, or something. This "thing" they are tying to hide from may not be alive like a human or animal, but perhaps something more symbolic. The character in this case is hiding from whatever the viewer is scared of. I noticed how Cindy Sherman wanted her photos to relate to people and connect with them, so I took inspiration from her and decided to do the same. This character is afraid of something, but that something is different for everyone, whatever you're "hiding from" was meant to be represented in this photo.
