Henrys picture is captivating, so many eye-catching details happening in such a small amount of space, there is so much to take in. Henrys picture details something that we are all too familiar with and amplifies it with unique picturing. I believe the subject of deforestation is an extremely important subject that often gets overlooked or ignored by society. Although we may acknowledge the situation, action is often lacking, thus the problem has yet to be resolved and the continuing of deforestation is moving us closer and closer to the relentless impact of global warming. Deforestation is often talked about less because it is a very necessary material for the entire world and other alternatives are far less available compared to subject of energy. This leads to politicians and other organizations justifying their needs for deforestation and to allow them to walk away with what they are doing to the environment. Henry managed to convey all of these messages when he discussed the theme of this picture and was able to use the unique illustrations of the photo as talking points for each of the issues that were discussed. There is so much potential to dive deeper into each specific part and find each meaning behind it, Henery showed he was able to do that in one minute, I can’t wait to see what he does for his final project.
I also found Henry’s pitch to be super captivating and as you said it has so much going on in such a small cartoon, that you can really dive into the picture and analyze the impact the piece has!!! Companies definitely don’t care about what they are doing, and this cartoon helps illustrate that. I think Henry has a lot to work with here and can’t wait to see his final product!!
Yes! I also found Henry’s speech very intriguing, and he really knew what he was talking about. Because he used a cartoon, I instantly was curious about what he had to say. I think he can expound on different concepts of capitalism or consumerism in regard to environmental issues.
I agree with both you and Henry; there is sadly so much money in deforestation which is preventing us from taking the most action possible. I think Henry did a great job as well, and I am intrigued on seeing where his speech goes.
