1982 is the year AIDs was discovered. I tried a number of different ideas for this concept, but my simplest shot seemd to fit best. I adjusted the levels and saturation to give it a stronger look. I tried to make the ribbon somewhat tattered.

Seems OOF, but apart from that, this is such a well-known, obvious graphic, that you needed to have been bolder in using it, or more technical in creating a crisp image...it bothers me that the tips of the ribbon are not centred.
I suppose I am naive, but I didn't know what the red loop ribbon stood for until I saw it in context on another image. The image itself is nice with a strong graphic quality to it. The composition is good and the processing works. I'm bothered by the wrinkles and inperfections in the cloth, yet believe that may be part of the message. The lack of context left it average for me. 5
