What inspired you to create your poster the way you did?
What inspired me was just a thought that I had. In every war in the world there is always that one person that can make a difference, and also the millions of people that find things wrong, but they never speak up because of fear.
Why did you choose the message you chose?
Theres always that one persons, that once voice, that has something to say but never speaks up.
How is this message important?
This message is important because there are many people out there that dont stand up for what they belive in, because they fear what others will think of do to them. My poster is not only about standing up for war, it is also about coming out and standing for what u believe in. ONE VOICE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
How did you come up with your design?
I just thought of a microphone, because that is a good way to get your voice across to others, and that war landscape background was a way of showing violence
a) What were you trying to express and
how did you achieve this?
I was just tryin 2 say that i have been through a lot of things in life, i’ve had my ups and downs, but in the end i always come out strong. Well I achieve this by my lil quote (or wat ever u wanna call it)
b) What filters did you use and where?
neon glow
plastic wrap
ink outline
Basically i used all these filters on the picture of me.
3) How do you think the world needs to change? How important is this?
I think the world needs to change by getting rid of world poverty,wars, racism, and just violence in general. This is every important all over the world, but mostly in third world countries because thats were most of this stuff is happening.
4) What are you willing to do TODAY to be a part of that change?
Well first I would start by doing what i know is right, by not being races, or violent. I don’t really know what ican do because I am still young, and don’y work. If i did work I would start be finding a world vision kid that I would sponsor.
5) Changes -Tupac
6) Pick a non-profit organization that is important to you. Why is this important to you?Do they have a website?
A non- profit organiztion that is important to me would be world vision. World vision is a very important non profit organiztion because it helps out people in third world countries. It is also important to me because my ethnic background is a thrid world countries, and its a nice feeling to know that there are people doing something to make a difference in the world.

Questions
1. The combination of tools that I used to isolate the fruit bowl was, lasso and wand. I used the wand on most of the background, then for the small areas i used the lasso tool to go over da area i didn’t want then just deleted them.
2. When workin on the 3 pictures i found the wand tool the most effective, because it was faster and got rid of most of the background.
3. Experiment with the following:
After you make a selection in the menu and go to
a) Select > Modify > Expand

What do these do? Post a fourth image indicating that you know what feathering does.
