The three images that I chose for this blog post are all of alcohol bottles. This is because my poem for my broadside is “titled” alcohol and tells the sad story of an alcoholic who lost it all. Initially when looking for images, most of them were modern real images of bottles that you would see in a grocery store. This didn’t fit the context of my poem because in the poem, the setting is more dark, ragged, in the past and takes place on a farm. This is why I want the medium of my image to be hand drawn, encompass rough hand drawn lines that are black and white. This gives the bottle an older feel that fits the poem which is dark and about death, not about clubbing and partying. In addition, using a hand drawn image gives the image a more personal, honest, genuine feel that a realistic image wouldn’t be able to give. The poem is about a man who looses his daughter, is alone and desolate and drinks his sorrows away. By using a dark, black and white picture of a bottle, it represents his personal account of his sadness and loss.  Due to the fact that it is a personal account and story, it makes sense to use an image that represents that.
