The intended message of this piece is to show that at the end of the day, our government is made by American citizens and not corporations and companies that want to make a profit. I used this piece because I never used these skills before and I really liked the result of the piece. I used Adobe Photoshop and learned how to make a text portrait and new ways to use the overlay feature. I would add a silhouette of people saluting the flag if I had more time to modify this piece. I liked the freedom I had for choosing what I could do for this project. I found doing the overlay and transparency to be the hardest part of this project. I wouldn't choose something different because this was exactly what I wanted for my piece.
