SURVEY:
I asked soldiers and civilians to anonymously give me one word (containing the word "less") that represented the impact of the war in Iraq on their lives. I gave examples of how to portray positives & negatives while doing so.
THESIS:
My goal was to bypass the biases of traditional media outlets, and seek the "truth"... from those who experience it on the front lines, and on the home front alike. The juxtaposition of the many, varying experiences and opinions created a dynamic piece or social design that indirectly assessed the state of the "War on Terror."
