MCKENZIE STYLC

Everyone experiences failure. Failure helps people become successful. For example, when people keep failing over and over again they begin to work harder and achieve what they wanted. When thinking of failing school came to my mind. School, over the years, has gotten more stressful and harder. Doing homework many nights consists of redoing the problems over and over again because you keep getting them wrong. Getting questions wrong over and over again causes emotions such as anger, anxiety, and even sadness.

    For the photo, I decided that the subject should be expressing one of these emotions. I chose anxiety as the emotion to express. When people have anxiety they tend to be fidgety, bite their nails, pick at their clothes, etc. Having the subject pick their nails expresses anxiety. To represent why the anxiety is occurring I photoshopped images of bad grades on quizzes and tests, and reading worksheets because it is caused by failing over and over again when you just want to succeed. Getting bad grades is just one example of how failing can cause one of the emotions. Using the school example is the best way to express the anxiety emotion of failing because many people can relate to this.

    Using the white background helped with photoshopping the paperwork into the photo, instead of just having school work in the background.

    Overall this was a unique way of showing the process of failure instead of taking the cliche way to show someone failing.
