Research

Conducted research and found a report titled "Kissinger," detailing potential U.S.A's plans for global population control. I carefully selected a magazine that emphasizes investigative reporting on government wrongdoing, analysis of national/world affairs, and cultural criticism, which fit with my concept of exposing "Kissinger".

Design

I digitally painted the skull and then added texture to it to create a very realistic effect. I then added the American flag print to a hand print that is placed on the skull since this is based off the Unites States report. I used a young adults skull with the American flag handprint to show how America's supposed plan was to try and control the worlds population through the youth specifically. Using the Magazines standard format I followed the sizing an type while maintaining a minimalistic approach to give the image more impact.

The focus of the design is a meticulously painted skull, rendered with meticulous detail to create a lifelike and haunting effect. The skull serves as a symbol of mortality and the choice of a young adult skull further reinforces the theme of targeting the youth demographic in population control initiatives.

Overlaying the skull is a texture that adds depth and realism, enhancing the overall impact of the design. On the skull is a handprint displaying the pattern of the American flag. The use of the American flag print on the handprint serves as a powerful visual metaphor, implying the manipulation and control exerted by the nation's government over its citizens' lives.

Through its composition and symbolism, the design effectively communicates the complex issue of population control, inviting viewers to critically engage with the political implications depicted.
