Emma's A Day Without Art gif

I used Nigel Zeff's photos that documented our protest papers to create a gif for our website.

I responded to the article discussing Nick Cave's work and the way he creates treasure out of trash. The specific quote, "The transforming qualities inherent in society's most overlooked rejects, " really got me thinking. I love magazines and I have always kept the cool ones to use for collaging, wrapping gifts, and different things. I wanted to create a little inspirational look book out of a magazine. I grabbed one of the old magazines that the school library was going to trash. I folded the pages to create new compositions that could lead to a new color palette, imagery, layout, or different things to inspire a new design that you are starting.

Considering that my commentary is set in a dystopia, where a totalitarian government is in charge, the government has allowed no limitations to off-shore drilling and oil drilling in general which has caused the planet Earth to deplete enormously.
