GD 2: Reinterpreting a Cliche - Part 2
This is my sticker in action for Exercise 4 from GD2 (The project is called “Reinterpreting a cliche”) that I posted the image of not terribly long ago.
The American flag, often used as a symbolic form of patriotism, nationalism and pride, I decided to apply it to a different perspective. Rather than putting the American flag on symbols of pride and glory, instead the stickers are marking the lonely, abandoned and uncared for parts of our country we often try to ignore or forget. My original meaning for making this was in reference to Obama’s American Reinvestment and Recovery Plan, but I’ve decided to make a more general and open ended statement that is up for interpretation.
I have some ideas for actually using this for something in real-life outside of the internet/class. I have to finish formulating the plans, but once I do, I’ll announce it here. I just need to do more research.
