For the final project, we decided that the best way to gain the attention of the public would be by posting 100 flyers all over Miami. Each of the four members of our group was tasked with posting 25 flyers themselves across Miami. We decided to leave the flyers without our information so that it could be completely anonymous. We also thought that it would be good if we posted this to twitter.com. That way we would gain a lot of online attention. We chose Twitter because it’s a predominantly Republican dominated social media app and since we want the Republican Party to be our primary demographic and to see our flyers, we posted this flyer and GIF on Twitter. We ended up using four hashtags involving the four words we chose. #Government #Tariff #Education #Anxiety. These are big trigger words for the algorithm that’s used on Twitter.

For this assignment, we decided that the best location on campus that would get the most engagement from the public would be from the roundabout entrance in front of the school. There’s a lot of traffic it’s unavoidable, which means if people want to go to class or go to the parking lot they have to pass by our sign first. Now I can tell you for sure that during the filming of this video we got a lot of people‘s attention. Mainly because we were holding up traffic.

For this project, we were assigned a task to create a mask using whatever materials we desired. I decided to use materials such as fast food, wrappers, and plastic bottles and trash bags. The reason for these materials is for the statement the piece is trying to make. The statement is that throughout our life we are constantly being fed. The lie that fast food is just a quick and easy meal, but an actuality it makes you feel like garbage. And the reason why I named this piece, “I’m not lovin’ it”, is because it is the popular slogan for the franchise McDonald’s, which is where I got, the wrappers.

During the idea process of this project, I was struggling on what I should do. Then I had the idea of making a giant cube and turning it into a prison that I would sit in. That way, the verb for this project could be cage or imprison. Then after the construction was underway, I realized it would be better if I was not inside the cube but something else. I still wanted to stick with the cage or imprison verb for the project basis, but I didn’t know what to put inside the cube. Then I had the idea to put a fake puppy in the cube to simulate the conditions that dogs have to go through in the pound. I also happened to have my first ever toy from being an infant, which also happens to be a dog.
