African Famine Collage Project

In our Multimedia class we were assigned a mini project to help get us started on our actual project, which was to take pictures from AP images from the TCU library database and make a collage. I flipped through about 15 pages of different pictures of this tragedy going on in Africa, and I have to admit, it was very disturbing. Just looking through these pictures made me more passionate to want to not only do well on my project, but to get large donations to send to these poor people. This just reminds me how truly blessed we are to live in the country we live in. As you in can see in my collage The top largest image is a picture of the African military controlling the people from leaving. I've made this collage like a "cause and effect." We have the military holding these people back and then the surronding pictures show the effect of it. You can see starving children, poverty stricken living situations, and homeless people on the streets with no food or water. Doing this collage made me realize that there can be so much more meaning in pictures then I would have ever expected and the placement of pictures can have a large meaning as well.
