An image of the face of barrack Obama
introduction
In 2008, one of the American artists created an image of the face of barrack Obama that had red, blue, and beige colors. It was a tremendous iconic, especially during his campaign time in which it symbolizes that he was to the hope of the world towards many suppressing citizens and could settle disputes on many continents. The stenciled image gave the motivation to various voters that enable him to win securely. The model used after he won the election.
However, images nowadays used in many protests. The placards of the picture indicate that Barack Obama is behind the sponsorship of protest against the leadership and the winning of the Trump, in which it incites the citizens to have the implications that he did not win the presidential ticket free and fare. However, the poster earns the artist a lot of income since citizens found purchasing and use it during demonstrations.
The image does not feature Trump as the legitimate American president, as this shows Barack Obama was the right leader who fought for equity and had the American slogan, we the people that unrecognizes Trump as the American president.
Lost delusion
The Obamas poster shows how a leader elected for inspiration for change in the country. Hope is on the bottom of the sign that indicates there is no future hope of the leadership He compared to the leaders that were selected under incentives by their loyal citizens. The poster is a source of inspiration and shows how faithful the president to their citizens. The poster designer also had various positive expectations on the most loved president since he was to fulfill individual optimism. The poster shows how this man could bring light to the world, but this was not the case. The poster designer, after the eight years of presidency, still sees no achievements that the president had done towards helping the world. His views corresponding to expectations seem to be opposite to what the president did. He feels that he did not fulfill the promises gave out during the campaigns, and the leadership quality that he showed during power was not the one expected.
Propaganda
the poster of hope, according to the artist Fairey, he was considering power and propaganda. The propaganda approach towards the expectations of the citizens not reached. It ends with a failure to operations. According to his speeches, after inauguration not fulfilled as expected since he3 promised people equality, but he went to announce that he was fighting against Muslims, not individual terrorist groups. The hope of the future started to diminish as most of the citizens became optimistic. The people also expected that after his office completion, the American leadership could be of that admired by the whole universe. Still, it has turned to the opposite of hopeless people as more discrimination has risen.
While he was campaigning, people had hopes about the future of the change in America. During his time where he was in office, working on weapon management and promised that he would ensure safety for the innocent citizens. The killings of children in one of the states in America experienced. The weapon management policy seems to be propaganda. The image of hope also showed how he could settle the dispute as he used to visit most of the countries and insist on organizations. Still, he signed a treat for the attack and killing of the Libya president to whom they call a dictator instead of setting approaches toward solving the relationship. The misuse of power towards dealing with the inferior people like the signing of the killing of Gaddafi was different as he approaches the superpower leaders. He used to have a talk and make agreements, but the future hopes towards making such approaches lead to a hopeless future in people.
The ordering of attack for the pirates in Somali also seen as an inadequate approach since he could come and talk to the people of Somali and quickly settle the dispute rather than encouraging people to fight each other. The resolution for the conflict was to be simple. He supposed to solve by asking the locals their core problem rather than declaring a fight. The orders seem to be non-future hopes since fighting with such inferior people is an indication of misuse of power and discrimination as he only considers the most superpower, and he could not listen to the subordinate. Various people during his campaigns and speeches inaugurations were hoping to deal with both the poor and the stable people. After the exercise of power, people do not imply the future hopes.
Fairey’s image of the dreadlocked African-American man shows that there was the future optimistic towards approaching the disputes in Africa, inverts Obama’s distant upwards dreaming create by looking downwards to the left. He considered being a hero to save the black citizens in America and the whole African continent. Still, it was out of expectation since he was oppressing the African leaders. The work shows that Fairey is familiar and matured as a political communicator since 2008. On the present-reality, it has shifted to the tense of future imaginary, and the power from the heroic politician whom he was a hope to the individual citizen, his 2017 posters become more than propaganda since the future fulfillment fails to observe.
Fairey considered Trump as the compliment since he is more trouble making. The poster of the hope of Obama seems to protest against his power and hate by refusing. For doing it, it offers new hope for the role and relevance of the political imagery in America.
Summary
People considered Obama as the great intercontinental hero, but he did not feature the hopes of many people’s expectations. He did not inspire, especially towards the end of his ruling leads to elect for the alternative that could even worsen the situation.
