The political issue I created a photomontage around the social issue of Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement protesting against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people. The movement has beeb around for many years, however with the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police last year, it bought the movement front and center. At that time, President Donald Trump, not only did an atrocious job of handling the social injustice, he pretty much sided with the oppressors. My solution is depicted in this photomontage.
For the final design I chose to go with a photomontage that uses the all so famous Game of Thrones, Iron Throne with Abraham Lincoln sitting in the throne. The thought behind these two images used alongside each other is to who the need to have a powerful figure rule or lead America during these times so that we as a country can overcome racial and social injustice in America. The Throne represents the difficulty of ruling and the brutality that lies ahead when someone takes power. Abraham Lincoln represents a strong ruler, who endured many hardships but still emerged victorious. All of the characteristics needed to cool the climate of America present day.
