Final Project Explanation

For my final project I decided to use Mount Rushmore.  This is a very well known thing among everyone.  The first picture that I used is a regular daytime picture looking up into the monument with a nice blue sky.  I Used this picture because I feel as if I am there looking up at the monument myself.  I used the pink tint because it looks as if the sun is setting on it giving it that pink glow.

I pimped out the backround of the picture with fireworks.  I did this because it is like they are celebrating our past presidents and our history.  For the last picture I went with a mod/pimp and replaced the presidents faces with the Beatles.  I did this because I like the Beatles very much.  I also thought that the fireworks would go with it to celebrate what the Beatles have accomplised.

As for essential questions of philosophy.  I feel as for what is true that the Beatles and those presidents are great influential people in history and to this day.  As for what is good all those characters in this project are great people and loved by everyone.  What is the right thing to do would be those presidents did great things for this country.  the Beatles did great things for music and are one of the most influential bands ever.  They may have been a bad influence for others cause of the drugs, but that is part of music.

I noticed how all those presidents were some of the best presidents in history.  So when I was adding changes it came to me to use four other very influential characters in history.  So when I was thinking of which four people to use that were related I thought of the Beatles.  Which worked out real nice.

Overall this project represents alot of things that I like.  Im not to fond of the government,  This is why I changed the faces to the Beatles.  They are one of my favorite bands and someone I really like and can relate to better than the presidents.  The fireworks are there to celebrate them and everything that they did.

Comic Anaylsis

In this comic strip i have a green monster man. He is very hungry so he goes to see what is in the fridge. He pulls out some ham and cheese with some bread and a plate. He is very satisfied and is then going to eat the sandwich. I used light from the fridge to add some more depth to the cartoon. I used a close up on all the sandwich goods and labeled all the plastic baggies for little confusion. He has successfully made the sandwich in the last slide and is very happy about it.

I used not many words in this comic because it is pretty self explanatory. He is very concerned on what to eat in the first slide which explains the hmm.. part of it. This is a very easy and simple comic to make and understand. I am sure that everyone who will look at this will know exactly what he is doing.
