Think Again

Deconstruction:

• Medium: Digital
• Materials: 1s & 0s and pixels
• Subject Matter: The subject of this image is the woman, and reproductive rights.
• Aesthetic Qualities: This image is attempting to be sublime, with the black and white and greyscale picture of the woman, and the red background behind the text.
• Composition: The focal point of this image is the woman's chest, where the text starts.
• Gesture: The woman looks like she's ready to fight, because she's leaning forward and has a serious look on her face. However, her arms are crossed, which shows that she's guarding herself.
• Formal Elements: The red and white text is usually used for images and ads that call out the government for being too controlling. The darkness around the woman's shoulder makes her face look like its farther out.
• Lighting: The image has a lot of contrasting light. Parts of it, such as the woman's face and right arm, are bright, with spots in the background being rather dark.
• Dimension: It looks like a poster sized image.
• Location: This could definitely be used as a poster, a picket sign, or used in a magazine.
• Display: This image is pretty straightforward.

Response:
This image makes women want to fight, and defend themselves. My initial response was like, "but it IS my body, and i AM gonna do what I want with it"!! But the image hits at a large issue that is the government's overstep in woman's rights and the image makes all women want to fight that.
