In English, we have been learning about Visual Language Features. For the past weeks, we were creating a static image and we are to choose on what topic we want to create or static image on.
In my static image, I chose to put a red background because it makes the things in the foreground pop. I put Johnny Cash at the centre because he is the dominant feature. He is facing June carter and the musical notes because he chose to be with his music and June carter. I placed a fire at the bottom of the picture to give meaning that if johnny cash fails to balance, he will suffer. I blurred out the silhouette of his family because johnny cash turned his back from his family. Also, I put a line because johnny cash is walking the line.
