Think Creatively
Some of the creative elements I used on my collage project were lots of overlapping pictures, colours, a unique background, and unusual text fonts. I did this to emphasise some parts of the collage, and also to keep the viewer's attention. For example, I wrote the word 'racism' in a red messy fashion to symbolize that racism is a bad thing. It also made the word stand out for the audience.
Reason Critically
I chose a six word memoir that symbolized each part of the Lost Boy's life: "burning village" for the civil war in Sudan and the loss of their normal lives, "stressful camps" which show the hard times the boys had at the refugee camp, and finally "unfair heaven" because they thought America would be heaven but it turned out to be a harsh place to live.
Communicate Effectively
The mixture of informative and sad pictures and carefully chosen words help the viewer recognize the Lost Boys hardships and trauma. I used pictures that are very clear in their meaning and relate exactly to the words on the poster.
Live ethically
Anyone looking at the pictures will realize the pain and suffering that the Lost Boys went through, and will have empathy towards them. The Lost Boys went through experiences that some people cant even imagine.
