Reflection

After finishing up this project, it dawned on me how easy it was to create "your own" artwork out of other artworks. It is easier to recycle and repurpose others ideas than it is to create original content. If I had done this image from scratch, It would have taken me many times longer than it did. It is apparent why some people will blatantly steal content from others, alter it a bit, and then repackage it as their own: it is so much easier than doing it from the ground up. Also, you don't have to be nearly as creative.

While the images and art I used are not popular or universally recognizable as a particular persons art, it is still someone else's nonetheless. By taking that art, I devalued both the original artists work and my own.
