This document discusses a digital imaging assignment where the student chose to create an image of a bald eagle with the word "SUCCESS" in the foreground. They enhanced the size of the eagle and text, changed the font color, and blurred the background water to draw more attention to the eagle and message. The goal was to create something with a powerful message that goes beyond education by using a polarizing national symbol of freedom and choice.

1. Digital Imaging
For this assignment I wanted to create something with a powerful message that could go further
than education. I chose the bald eagle because that within itself is one of the more polarizing figures of
our nation and is associated with the freedom to make your own choices. After placing the image in
GIMP I enhanced its size and added the text to the image. I also enhanced the font size to make the text
easier to read, while also changing the color of the font to bring attention to the main idea: SUCCESS.
The image itself was already fairly clean and didn’t need much other work. I did attempt to blur the
background of the water to bring more attention to the text and the eagle itself.
