In reviewing Today’s article about protests in South Korea I noticed the liberal use of Light Boxes in the presentation. The utilitarian concept of the Light Box is very apparent. The images contained overlap the story and place the images center stage. The first Provides a highly visceral image of South Koreans in Seoul and abroad defacing images of the dictator Kim Jong-il and his family as well as the DPRK flag. In contrast the secondary light box presents historical and current socio-political information of the belligerent nation. I think that I will incorporate this concept in my final capstone project.
