The Barbara Kruger Inspiration assignment motivated me to fabricate a new original piece called “Earth NEEDS a new Hobby” a 11″ by 17″ piece finished on Adobe Photoshop CS5. This piece depicts a photo of people in a crowded area symbolizing one of our many environmental issues – overpopulation along with the illustration “Earth NEEDS a new Hobby” which is briefly stating that we as a unit need to gradually decline in mass producing new life. One of the strengths in this piece is the emphasis on the word “NEEDS” implying that it is urgent to stop procreating as much as we are now for example we could create a child limit like china does. In addition, there were challenges that made this Barbara Kruger Inspiration assignment such as making such a clever and witty text as her which resulted in thinking for a more than ten minutes because I wanted to make the text original yet have the signature of the famous Barbara Kruger. In conclusion, if I were to start theBarbara Kruger Inspiration assignment all over again, I would change the background because I was not completely satisfied in choosing the background I had chosen.
