This was a further exploration into Barbara Kruger's work using my own photos. As I still wanted to continue my study of The Sun's influence on today's female, especially young ones, I made it the central topic of my first poster. I kept the logo in the picture rather than just copy it up in the same font as I thought it portrayed the message clearer - it was also a similar style so the aesthetics of the overall composition weren't compromised.The slogan 'The Sun casts a shadow' is something I made up when doing my Edvard Munch copy. I think it highlights the issue well.In the picture I also tried to make the model seem as young as possible by having their hair in bunches and them dressed in their primary school jumper. Once again, this just reinforces the pressure girls feel when they are so overly-exposed to the unrealistic portrayal of the supposed 'perfect body' at a young age and to highlight how innocent some individuals are. The middle poster is entitled 'Worker, Wife, Mother, Equal?' and is actually a picture of my own Mum. The many stories of her struggle against sexism in the work place was a further inspiration for this project. Finally the last poster states 'Feminism suits anyone'. Although the actual phrase lacks the wit of Barbara Kruger, I felt it was important to establish that some men are proud feminists and that more should be.
