News You can use- Picture- Monday #3

Ground zero spirit [2001]

This picture has a huge contrast between the American flag and the destroyed background. This highlights the hope for the future compared to the devastation of 9/11. The background is all grey and covers the whole background, showing that the disaster isn't over yet, but there's still hope. The brightness of the flag and the bold colors of the firefighters make them stand out fro the disaster and show they're trying to help. They're determined faces also stand out to show that they're just people trying to help out.

  1. Ari--
    An iconic photo, and well done. Consider too the ways in which tone and point of view may contribute to appeals. Next step--look for something more contemporary?
