I chose this picture of Obama because of its significance to me. His pose and posture makes him look very confident in the way that it makes us, Americans, feel reassured that he was the best part.
The first thing I did was cut Obama out of his black background to get away from the intense darkness. I then put him against a white background and added what looks like blue sun rays to somewhat accentuate Obama as if he were like the sun. The next thing I did was add text, because I love typography. I added "OBAMA" because it's his name, then I added a line to separate his saying of "YES WE CAN." I added "YES WE CAN." because of the fact that not only is it a saying that people voted for him say, but it also says about him that his presidency is not just about him, but about him and his people, and that is what democracy is all about.
