Social Issue Project Proposal

1.  I am plaining to build an advertising campaign around the military women and how they are seen to be looked as lower then the men 
2.  This is a personal connection to me because my sister serves in the Army and I want to make sure that everyone sees that women and men both serve for this country and both have to past a pt test in order to graduate as well as the AIT tests
3. People should be concerned about this issue because people don't see how much women are looked down on and they don't understand the sacrifices that these soldiers put forth to protect this country.
4. You can motivate people to care about the military by showing videos and making documentaries about what the families have to deal with at a daily basses. This will motivate them by showing empathy to the families... caring and wanting to help the families in need
5.    non profit organizations are soldiers angles which is a organization for veterans:"There were 36,000 women in the officer corps, or 16.6%, Among the top ranks, 69 of the 976 generals and admirals -- 7.1% -- were women. There were 28 female generals in the Air Force, 19 in the Army, one in the Marine Corps and 21 female admirals in the Navy.Among the enlisted ranks, women were most represented in the medical (30.5%) and administrative (30.1%) specialties. They made up about 17% of supply units, 14% of communications staff and 10% of electronics technicians."http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/24/us/military-women-glance/

Social Issue Ad Campaign Examples

This is so true! People don't think about what can happen to others. Having distractions in the car is so dangerous because it takes your concentration off the road. Making people aware of what can happen will help them be more focused when they drive.

I really like this photo its very unique. I like how the kids in the cart actually look like they are sitting in the cart and "begging" for food. I think people should be aware of kids that are hungry because now days kids take everything for granted and all they do is think about themselves they never stop to think about the poor. They don't notice how lucky they are to have a roof over their head, food on the table and a family that loves them.

I think using babies for this add was a good idea because most people see all babies to be cute and equal. I think there are still people in the world that think African American should be slaves or just not be able to get good quality jobs. I believe all people should be treated equally.

a beautiful location for this special day. The Masonic Village had a calming pound and had beautiful flowers around it. Before the wedding the families began to chat and tried to catch up with each other.

The family is reunited to celebrate the love between the bride and groom         the ceremony perfect for Courtney and Nathan. When Courtney appointments were finished she returned to the Masonic Village she went straight to the room where her wedding gown was waiting for her. She believed if the Bride and Groom would see each other on the day of the wedding it's bad luck. When she arrived at the room she began to change into the dress but she began to tell us that she was nervous but Hugs and kisses are given to Nathan Rutter the groom before the ceremony begins by his mother 

Darby Rutter. She wishes him good luck and tells him to cherish this day and enjoy every moment of 

it and she sends her love to him.

at the same time was excited as well. While she said she was nervous Nathan told his mother that he was nervous too but he said he was also ready for the moment. While Darby Rutter his mother said to him don’t be just relax and enjoy every moment of this day. As the day dragged on for both of them the time has finally came the music started playing meanwhile the friends and family stood up and looked back as the bride was walking slowly down the steps with

Nathan gave a great big smile when he saw Courtney he said she looked amazing and I am so glad we are finally husband and wife.  After the ceremony there was a reception at the Susquehanna Club. At the reception they had their first dance as husband and wife. The reception was filled 

and happiness through singing and dancing. Both families have added another member today. Congrats Nathan and Courtney.

Photojournalism Shooting Assignment

I loved taking these pictures because i helped capture a special moment. I loved taking shots outside but when the reception was inside it began to be difficult to take clear and interesting pictures.

Overall i enjoyed the experience of taking these pictures i had a good time while doing an assignment for school but its also was for Nathan and his new wife to cherish these memories and to remember the importance of that day.

I like how all her work has a special connection to her and I also like how passionate she is while taking the photo it shows through her work. I wish she would use some color photos in her to expresses the feeling of the picture in a different way. This is photojournalism because instead of adding a caption under the photograph Robin just expresses her thoughts through the picture itself the photo tells the story not the words.

This picture show a white women with an african american man. This photo show how society  has changed and how the african americans are treated on the same level as whites this could also make others uncomfortable.

This photograph shows a larger boy with average size boys. This is expressing no matter how big you are there will always be people that will except you for who you are. It shouldn't matter your size race or age.
