I took this photo in July of 2020, during the BLM protests in Manhattan. The words “No Justice No Peace” were written on the City Hall building. I edited it to make it more bright so the words could be read easily. The target audience would be the citizens of America since we need to work on our country’s mindset before moving on to a greater audience. I believe the bright lighting of the photo makes more people want to look at it because it’s more attention grabbing. I also increased the saturation so the pink writing would pop more, making it more noticeable. Lastly, I increased the vignette so the edges would be slightly darker, allowing the focus to be on the writing on the door. Whether or not someone knows this building is City Hall, I think the photo makes it clear that it’s an important building, which makes a statement. I want a message to be sent that there truly will not be peace until there is fairness and justice, so I think these editing elements pull that together.
It is a such meaningful picture that you took. You did a good job on the editing, the words “No Justice No Peace” was the first thing that I saw when I look at your picture. I believe that these words already describe what message you are trying to delivery.
