Style elements I used in my first image red, white, and blue, metaphors, and a glorious good strong picture. I added more emphasis in the picture by circling around his face in white to make him seem more of a saint to America after all the problems, and Obama change that. In my second image I used red, white, and blue, the flag, words to have Obama be voted for 2008. In my third image I made had the more important words in a different bold color. I had a dramatic picture behind McCain, to give more of an idea of what could happen if America did vote for him. I gave him no sense of political pride, there is none to be given to bring out the negativity more.

I used layer mask mostly on my pictures, and quick tools like for my first picture I used a quick tool called gradient tool to make the black background behind Obama giving him a more holy feel. To make him stick more out in the pictures to make him the main point that he should be president. In my second picture I used just layers and different pictures found on the Internet, I cut Obama out with the selection tool and pasted him on the front of the flag picture. I put it together and then put it on keynote. In my last image I also used layers, I cut out McCain with the selection tool and put him into the background of the explosion picture.

         On my first image I tried to make it as very flashy as possible, I wanted to be able to make Obama look like a savior. At first I was looking to make my picture a different shape and color. As I was looking for the tools, I ran into quick tool to lighten up the background. I started playing with the background, making it darker and lighter. Then I thought of doing just the background head surrounded area, to make it more of a standing out face. In the second picture I just saw what it would look like if I cut Obama out and put him in the middle I then saw the side was the best place to put it. In the last image I thought of getting a good picture of McCain then instead I got a bad picture with doubt on his face. Then I had no clue if I should make him a devil but that was already taken, so I thought putting a picture of a destruction explosion behind him to show that this is not going to go away, he will make it continue. So I cute and pasted him onto the explosion and thought of a slogan to match the picture.
