It is easier to build a child's future than repair a man's past.(revised)

     Here is my sequential digital art composition pressing the issue of child abuse.  This assignment was a bit of a struggle for me and I really had to rack my brain to figure out the issue I wanted to express here.  It was very difficult to find photos once I did decide on child abuse but these are the four I found.  I believe it was so difficult to make an original design about this issue because there are so many designs about it.  I tried to make my design simple yet expressive and subtle yet empowering.  This was my final result.  I worked with four separate images and added the text as well as a glow to it.  I also faded out the little girl in the first photo and desaturated the first, second, and fourth photos as well as giving them a "true" black and white to add to composition throughout the images. In the last photo I added two images together working with masks to allow them to blend together in my images batter.  The rest, I think speaks for itself.  Thanks for viewing and as always any tips or comments are appreciated. 

Also I want to note child abuse is a very serious issue and should not be taken lightly.  For more information please refer to:  www.childhelp.org
