Hope

          The subject for my project was to show how I am living the world now rather how I was before.  I dividend the poster with one side of the color of the flag.  As a gay man that just came out of the closet, I am putting my happy side with pictures with my friends.  I did not put pictures of my family because I have not told them.  I do know think it is time for me to tell them because I know how a religious Hispanic would take the news.  The other side was going to be dark and plain colors because I was not being myself.  I did not want people to make fun of me because I was different so I just wanted to fit in.  I separated the two side by putting a duct tape with tigers of my wall.  I want all the negative side to see what I have become as a person.  All the negative side would be scared to come to my happy side because the tigers.

My goals was to make gay flag to show the true side of how I lived my life. Adding the word hope in my project was to show that I am living better.  Before in the dark side I was just thinking about all the negative things would say to me.  People would call me stupid because I failed twice in elementary.  That is why I put pictures of monsters because I felt like all my teachers and children were trying to but down.  I wanted to show dark color to represent evil. I want the people to see how my happy side is the way I am living rather than living like you are down about life.

I tried to put the Cindy Sherman effect in my project because of her style that was weird.  I enjoyed looking through her art and seeing models making fun faces.  In my project, certain pose are funny because I want people to see how life can be wonderful.  It does not matter if you are in uniform or dress.  I live my life no matter what people say and it does not matter how I look in camera because a photo is a work of art.  I tried to use retro effect because Cindy work is bright.  On my happy side is full with bright colorful because it shows a lot emotion.  My friends are living life in my project because the main purpose was to live life the way you want to as long you are happy.
