I wanted to somehow combine the composition lined notebook paper used by pre-k students with the image of an African American boy behind bars. For the type I used the scribble tool to hand write the text in order to mimic the handwriting of a child. My purpose for doing this was to get across the message of racial inequality within the education system and the criminal justice system. Even though these seem like two separate issues, I believe that they are strongly related. I was inspired after reading several articles like this one. If a child is born into unfortunate circumstances and is not given equal opportunity based on the color of their skin, then what is to prevent them from becoming another unfortunate statistic?
