Stop Paul Ryan

Deconstruction:

• Medium: Digital
• Materials: 1s & 0s and pixels
• Subject Matter: The subject of this image is Paul Ryan.
• Aesthetic Qualities: This image tries to be sublime, but it's mostly ugly.
• Gesture: Ryan's expression is stressed, and makes him look very unlikeable.
• Formal Elements: The black and white make Ryan look like a criminal. The Orange/Red and yellow text also allude to the idea that he should be in jail. Putting Capitol Hill way in the background portrays the idea that he doesn't belong there.

• Display: This image is very simple and straight to the point.

Response:
This image makes even me want to stop Paul Ryan, and I like him! The colors make the issue look extremely urgent, and does a good job of portraying Paul Ryan as a threat to people in the USA.
