Critiques for Emily Albright

I  think the idea of this project is really strong, combining unrelated images together creating juxtapositions. Emily did a great job making the images strong and having a purpose. The last one with the beach and the mountains is definitely the strongest, in my opinion. It could be real in the way it was photoshopped, but still uses the concept of juxtaposition. One thing I would change about this project would be for the house and elephant, I think that it would look better on a print. Because the elephant isn't as clear as the house, it doesn't necessarily look realistic, like the other 3 do. All four images do show the concept of opposite things being in different landscapes. Using a giant moon in daylight was a great idea because the moon is rarely that big, but the image makes me think it actually was there. The picture in the street with the horse and man also uses unrelated images, making them into 1. Nowadays, we wouldn't expect to see a man with a horse in Jacksonville. Also, my favorite print of Emily's that she hand-did, is the one of the dinosaur in the middle of a street at the beach. This definitely contrasts in location. It looks super realistic and believable. The other print with the basketball player is unrelated to the public phone because no one would expect that either. Overall, Emily used appropriation perfectly with her project of combining unrelated images together.
