A recent project was to be based on something I was passionate about. My little brother is back from his fourth tour in Iraq, and will soon be leaving for his second tour in Afghanistan. For this reason I wanted to focus on support for our troops. I had envisioned a mellow poster to highlight the sacrifice our soldiers make. In preparation of this project, I asked my brother to send me some pictures that meant a lot to him. Once I received these, my whole design changed. These were not images of weary soldiers, harsh conditions, or sacrifice. These were images of the troops and villagers happy about what was being accomplished. While the main stream news groups will focus on our “occupying military”, and the conflict that continues with a few extremist groups, these pictures show who we are fighting for.
