Process

I did not have any themes in mind going into this project; they arose naturally as I solidified my idea of what I wanted to create. After coming up with this idea, I then had to create several implementations of it (I feel like it works better with multiple pieces in the same style, so that the overall message present in all of them is clearer). After the idea, the most important thing was which Rothko pieces and advertisements to use. I searched for Rothko paintings that had wide, short rectangles in roughly the shape of a banner ad. Finding ads was harder, since I usually use Adblock and didn't know where to look. One of them I got from Google by searching for "art", and another was a phone ad I got from Amazon.
