I decided to have a girl kicking a soccer ball as that centre point because as May approaches, the weather gets warmer and soccer is a past time many Canadians love. Since the multicultural festival is in May I thought this worked out well and would grab the attention of sports fans and stand out from the other multicultural posters. I put the skyline of buildings including the CN Tower and Parliament building because it represents our bustling cities of Canada full of people and places to see.
The background is a twist on the Canadian flag, pulling the foreground splashes of white in with the faded texture in red and black. Not only does this pull the image together, but it also really adds that pop of colour to make my poster stand out.
Lastly, the group of Lourdes students and staff standing together represents the cooperation and unity of our community and Canada as a whole, appreciating multiculturalism. I put these people in black and white because even though every individual is unique, we are all equal. If we all saw in black and white our world would be free of racism. We are lucky enough to have a country so diverse to appreciate the many cultures of the world and I think these smiling faces show just that.
You're a great salesperson Teagan. Instead of saying the people are B & W because the images colours didn't match, you came up with a rationale the fit the theme. Nicely done! It is a very complex image with many layers both in terms of technical work and depth of meaning. I like that you are pushing yourself to go beyond a superficial interpretation of the task. A couple minor grammar issues listed on the rubric.
