Pollution visual metaphor

This image is a visual metaphor for water pollution. It specifically depicts water pollution with many examples: The fish are in the forms of bottles and cans. The water has the color of green instead of the normal blue. There is also trash on the sea floor, tires, the crabs are in the form of batteries, and the coral is in the form of newspaper and other metal materials. This images just amplifies the problem of water pollution and how it has it is impacting our wildlife. The artist uses the bottles and cans to depict the fish because by polluting the waters, we are destroying the habitats of other animals. We are causing harm to their lively hood. The effect of artist creating images of societal problems can only help the world out. It helps bring it to our attention that their is a problem and we need to done something about it, in hopes of ending the damage that we have caused. We can think of it in these terms. What if there was some outside source dumping their trash into our living space. How would we feel about it? I think that every one of us would be pretty upset by the actions of this outside source and we would want them to stop. With that in mind, we should be respectful of the other ecosystems around us and stop dumping our trash were we feel like it. This goes for not just water pollution, but all pollution in general. To give some credit, there have been measures in recent history to limit pollution.

Animation(Pixar Parody)

Everyone knows the normal intro for Pixar movies. The lamp jumping on the

Iamp and then looking up toward the viewer. I thought this video was an

interesting play on the Pixar intro. It was neat to see what can be done with

animation and motion graphics today. As a society we are only going

to continue getting better as what can be created. Especially with the

advancement of special effects and 3d motion. This video uses different

aspects of art culture: a popular logo, animation, integrated sound

and motion graphics. This video was done well because it is the first

time someone hasdone a play on the Pixar logo. It makes you think

why has nobody else done this before. The idea is fairly simple, with

the Pixar essentially killing the "I" in Pixar. The lamp gets the standard

punishment that every person would if they were found guilty of killing

another: Being arrested, going to court, found guilty, serve jail sentence,

then either being given a death sentence or put back into the world

like any other person and having to re-acclimate oneself

with society. This parody of the Pixar logo opens the gate for other websites

/people to create parodies of otherpopular logos. Even then, its not limited to

company logos, it can be expanded toward art culture and societal flaws.
