 Materials: Cut magazines, newspaper, glue, photoshop, clear plastic sheet Process: I had someone take a photo of me holding a book, made the photo black and white, notanized the photo, printed multiple copies, taped it to the back of a piece of a plastic sheet, I tore out a bunch of pieces of magazines to use, then cut out pieces according to value to make the person and the book using an X-acto knife, then I glued it to the plastic sheet. I tore the pieces instead of cutting them for the background and table. Then I cut out the colored words and moved them a few times to make it look like they were pouring out of the book. I carefully chose what words to use to express the things that one with a learning disability might think of while they're reading.The physical product was not as clear as I intended so I put the photo into photoshop and added more contrast between the face, the shirt, and the background.
