I chose to submit (after some tweaking) my interpretation of Dallas Bland's poem "Nemisis" from the Creative Writing class
I decided to present my picture in a way that would give it the appearance of a portrait you might see hanging in the hallway or study of a castle in a time long ago.
The nature of the portrait was one of evil. The king we see in the picture was not a very nice person, willing to start wars and even sacrifice his own family for his own greed. To this end I decided a dark, charcoal colour wood frame would suit the mood of evil, the materials available at the time (as in medieval times), and frame a black and white photo without detracting from it too much.
I chose to print the picture large for two main reasons. The first being I wanted people to come up a bit closer and be able to see the details in the picture, especially the figure present in the right hand side window. The second reason is that I would imagine this king had forced a poor artist into creating this picture for him, and with an ego the size of his castle would have demanded it be of a large size.
