This picture shows a young football player with his eyes closed reminiscing on what could have been. As the shadows creep towards his face, having already taken everything else, all he has are the thoughts of what was taken away. In bold red are the devastating words of "you are not allowed to be great."
This picture represents the stereotype and hardships that have to be overcomed by todays youth minority. No matter what he accomplishes, the shadows are slowly taking everything away. Everything he has worked for will never be known behind the shadows of mislead stereotype. Because all his hard-work will go unnoticed, he is not allowed to be great.
Frank, what am I going to do with you? Your statement is great, and works well with your picture. I love your symbolic interpretation of the darkness that you added in. However, you throw it together without putting much thought into it- and it makes me think how much better it would be if you put your SOLID effort into it. The levels in the photograph need to be fixed, there is too much gray happening. The words are excellent in their size change, but they need to be all the one simple font, and they would probably stand out better with the blocks of color behind them. DON"T BE AFRAID of your artistic ability and expression!!
