culture jam

Things I like:

I thought the idea of this project was really cool, the fact that I took a company and used its own slogan against it to make fun of it. I thought it was cool how the company makes itself look green and earth friendly, meanwhile they are cutting down trees to make there skateboards.  I like I changed the shirt to power to the chainsaw and how it looks like it is actually on the shirt. I think it’s almost hard to notice that I changed the shirt because it blends in so well.

Things I dislike:

I don't like how flat the chainsaw is and I feel like I could of maybe found a better picture of one. I feel like it doesn’t fit in with the picture.  I also didn’t like that I picked my favourite skateboard company to do this on. I  wanted to do something that related to me and this is what I came up with but I find it kind of funny that I picked a company I liked than made fun of it. I also don’t like the bottom right corner where the tree is how it doesn’t blend in as well with the background.  

What makes it art:

This piece is art because I took an image and changed it. It was an advertisement and I changed it to what I thought about the company. I expressed my thought about something through the image.  Its art because I used my Photoshop skills to cut different pictures out and blend them in with others.
