This is the quote I used for our text/image hunt. I found it in the first book I picked up at our library, titled Great Treasury of Western Thought. I chose this quote primarily because tons of images went flying through my head as I read it. I then chose three unique images to to display the quote in three different lights. The images are shown below:
This first image is of a seagull breaking a seagull law. This is a simple act of civil disobedience, and that's exactly why I chose this image. For my in-class project, I placed the quote on the top of the image in a simple black font to sort mimic an inspiring poster or fl yer you'd see around your school or city.
The second image is that of Charles Manson's mug shot. I placed the text, in a font that looks similar to typewriter text, on the identification tag he's wearing. I think that even if you can't identify him, the image still correlates with the quote in being a literal interpretation - this man did something so outrageous, he is going to jail. Additionally, Charles Manson is a pop culture icon and he achieved his status by cult followers and murder - something definitely jail worthy.
The last image is the cover of the latest issue of Playboy. Since the assignment called for one image not from the Internet, I made it a mission to find this magazine; after running all around town, I finally found it in a dirty little food mart. I digress...Well I placed the quote over to the right on one of the side headlines in the same fonts and colors that the rest of the cover uses, so the quote is really bold but at the same time blends with the rest of the magazine. I got the idea to use the Playboy by thinking about all these up and coming young stars who let down their morals to pose nude in this magazine, and of course, they become celebrities over night.
