1. For my first idea, I would use this picture of the New York Public Library from 1908 to make a juxtaposition between old and new. I would take this photo and leave in the original building but mask out the people and horse and buggy's. In their place, I would put in images of modern people and modern cars. Since this building is still standing today, the purpose of this photo would be to show how the world has modernized around this old building.
2. For my second idea, I would change the wording and color of normal street signs to the opposite of what their meaning is. For example, I would take a 'one way' sign and have it say 'no way'. I would take a red 'do not enter' sign and change the color to green. We have grown accustomed to the colors and symbols of street signs that the slightest change could throw off the whole meaning.
3. For my third idea, I would put one sport within another sport. I would take this picture of a soccer field and mask out the girls playing soccer. In their places, I would put in professional hockey players in their full uniform. This would create an impossible photo since it would look as if hockey players were playing ice hockey on a soccer field.
4. For my forth idea, I drew inspiration from this photo by Tom Wesselman. I would create photo of an American meal by bring together elements from other photos and putting them into one. I would have a dinner table, and set on it would be a burger and a plate of fries and put a coke behind it. I would add in other elements as well to tie together the American meal theme.
5. For my fifth idea, I took inspiration from these pictures at the zoo. In these pictures, the monkey's are in the cages and the people are outside looking in. I would like to create a picture in which the opposite is happening; there are people inside the cages and the monkey's and animals are outside the cage looking in.
