I was impressed and surprised by "The Bottom Line," a project that explored several significant and heart-wrenching issues affecting children right here in the United States. The sentence on the first page essentially summed up the brilliance of the entire site- "How many children will have to live lesser lives before we get the picture?" The Dallas Morning News juxtaposed facts, numbers and information with striking pictures— pictures that stick in your mind and make you deeply, emotionally care about the topics at hand. The voices and music in the background of the sound/picture slideshows made a huge impact on the power of the pictures as well; you could put a story to a face, something really special and unique to multimedia projects. The compilation of text, audio and photographs achieved an effect that could not have been achieved by just one of the three; it was eye-opening, touching and motivating— it made you want to make a difference.
