I selected this image as i believe there is a significant message behind it. The behinds spell out 'remember that you do what you want to do. I believe that this image is referencing to a growing social world where we should be encouraged to not follow the same pattern and template and stand out from the crowd.http://cdn.idesignow.com/public_html/img/2012/03/social_2.jpg

Quote on political - " In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics'. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia." - George Orwell.
This is an illustration by Mitchell Mcnaughton and as you can see is a political illustration. It states greatly what George orwell says in the above quote, particuarly the word evasion. The politician who appears to be Obama is ignoring the plight of the people beneath him.

Historical

This is a satirical illustration by William Hogarth. It is known as Beer Street and Gin lane and depicts on the left the lazy lathargic effects of beer and on the right the chaotic effects of drinking Gin. I chose it because it reflects that even though it is a fairly historical example of an illustration as this was several hundred years ago the overall theme and message still applies to today.https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Beer-street-and-Gin-lane.jpg
An incredible historical photograph of the Nagasaki mushroom cloud just twenty minutes after it had been dropped. A reminder of what war can lead to.https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Atomic_cloud_over_Nagasaki_from_Koyagi-jima.jpeg
Technological
Definition - Relating to or characterised by technology. Resulting from improvements in technical processes that increase productivity of machines and eliminates manual operations or operations done by older machines.
Quote on Technological - " Technological innovation is indeed important to economic growth and the enhancement of human possibilites." - Leon Kass
Although my chosen quote reflects a positive view on technology this chosen image demonstrates i believe a negative view. This is a piece of work by an artist called Nick Gentry. The objects used in the artwork are floppy disks and the image is basically saying that technology is taking over the younger generation.
