I chose the picture of O.J. Simpson because his case is famous, and there is much to be learned from him. He also was a really good football player, and that makes him interesting to me. This picture originated as a mugshot in jail, where Newsweek Magazine put the original photo up. Time Magazine altered the picture to look a lot more dark and guilty looking. Many shadow effects were used and the picture was just darkened in general. This picture was darkened to make him look like a scary man that had allegedly murdered someone, but got away with it. I believe this picture was harmful because it took a man, made him look way more scary than he was in the original to persuade people that he is a bad human being. They say innocent until proven guilty, and he was never proven guilty. This man does not deserve humiliation like this.
I really liked the movie avatar. I thought it was really cool that all of these people are really people but just photoshoped onto screen like this. Its amazing what photoshop can do!
cool!
