Animal Farm Creative Project

Below is my creative, technology-based project on the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell. It is designed to resemble a portrait gallery, with the right side containing images of the historical figures of Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Karl Marx, and the KGB, and the left side containing the corresponding allegorical animal counterparts of Napoleon, Snowball, Old Major, and the dogs. The "X"'s on the portraits of Trotsky, Marx, Snowball, and Old Major represent their death or expulsion. Below the portraits, the seven commandments are written down, with obvious editing in red representing the alterations that the pigs had made in the story. The checks next to several of the commandments indicate that they have already been edited, while the question marks next to the others introduce the possibility that they could be changed later as well. The image can be enlarged to its original size if clicked upon.
