Accentuate the Positive / Eliminate the Negative
In politics it is the objective of a campaign to find what they like in an issue and spin it to suit their own agenda. Inherently, images can be interpreted many ways. With a bias and selective choice, an image or phrase could be spun a number of ways. A choice to focus on a specific element of an issue and disregard the rest is often the MO behind a political campaign.
To mimic this concept, we will explore a media exercise requiring that we choose an existing image from whatever source you prefer; magazine, newspaper, internet, photograph, etc…, and paint out or obscure either the positive or the negative space, leaving only the chosen text and image. We will aim to put an intentional spin on the original intention of the media you have chosen. We are refocusing the interest by manipulating the image and text.
