Visual Metaphor

     As my final project in my Digital Imaging Course we were asked to compose a Visual Metaphor using Photoshop. I chose to portray the idea of beating a dead horse as the direct metaphor, though it also encompasses some commentary on the police state and surveillance. I have created a short animation to demonstrate my process in creating this piece and I have included my source imagery, all used for educational purposes. I am pleased with end result and I hope it will provoke some thought.
