Blog Reflection For  GIF Project

The concept for my GIF project is the destruction of something, that is resulted from what seems so simple and small compared to the damage it has done. I connect to this concept because I have personally made big mistakes in my life that could have been easily avoided if other smaller mistakes were prevented. My image enhances my concept because it shows a relatively small plane dropping off a bomb that leads to huge explosion, so this shows something huge happening resulting from something a lot smaller. When my GIF was originally just a thumbnail sketch, it really did not show the process at which the bomb proceeding to the explosion. But the use of photoshop really enabled me to bring my concept to life and show more in detail how the whole situation brought out my concept. Due to the availability of being able to make my drawing more of a sequence or move rather than a sill frame. 

Current State of Minimum Wage

As it is now minimum wage has been sitting on 8.75 in New York State since december 2014. Not only is minimum wage long overdue for change, but it is just to low for those americans who need to live off such a low wage living in a expensive state like New York. Minimum wage needs to be increase to account for the living cost in New York. Not only would it further lead to a better economy, with less people dependent on the government to supply low wage workers with extra financial help, but it would lead to overall better America as other states would follow New York in raising minimum wage to account for a states living cost. When it comes down to it the people need money and the people should at least be getting a wage that they can support themselves off of. Raise minimum wage for the people and a better America.
