Argument Collage Artist Statement

1st image: Legal to Love

The way I translated the ideas and details of my argument and evidence into a visual image was by taking an image of a sign found on a street in europe with the words "IT'S LEGAL TO LOVE" on it, and put it on top of a picture of the gay flag. This connects to my argument because it pretty much sums up the argument and evidence into a few words. My argument says that it isn't against the law or unconstitutional for gays to marry, an the evidence is the human heart and statistics and all that stuff. The effect I wanted to have on the audience was a kind of simple conveyed message made by real people involved with this argument. I thought that since the sign itself was purple, I'd stick it where it connects to the purple and red lines of the flag.

I can't say that there was much photoshop technique used here in this image. There are two layers and two pictures and one color scheme.
