Photo Editing

The photo I chose to examine was the Wisconsin Application cover photo. I chose this photo because my father went to the university and I am a big Wisconsin fan. I also chose this photo because I recently went through the application process and I thought it was a funny thing for Wisconsin to ad a black face into the picture.
The picture was taken by the school at a Wisconsin football game. The Wisconsin administration used photo shop or some other photo editing device to place a black face in the picture to try to display diversity in the picture. Colleges around the nation strive for diversity and it is usually a main concern for applicants applying to colleges.
I did not find the manipulation harmful. Wisconsin is a fairly diverse college and I feel like the administration loved the picture, but they felt they had to show the diverse side of the university as well. The only way to show the diversity of the University and use the picture was to manipulate the photograph.
