failing

Assignment:

In the next four weeks we are going to build a long sequence of words and images, eventually creating one sentence.
The procedure is as follows: The first student chooses a word and forwards this to the second student via email, (s)he adds another word and sends the two words to the third student, who adds a third word and forwards this to the fourth student. By this, a sentence slowly evolves and we carry on until we reach the final student in the list, who will finish our sentence. 

For your own word, take time to find one (or more?) newspaper image(s) from your scheduled day (or, vice versa, find a word to combine with a newspaper image you want to use). Play around with word/image combinations which seem fitting, interesting, thought provoking, jarring, etc.
Arrange word and image on a 410 x 280 mm piece of paper, landscape or portrait. Type must be centred (vertically and horizontally) but you are free to choose all other ingredients such as typeface, corps size, type direction, colour, image crop, full-colour or black and white, etc.


The day I got the sentence was january 27. The sentence until then was: 
Security requires big support especially when dutch people learn inappropiate non-essential bullying language and try... - I added "failing".
I had a skip through different newspapers and found my fitting image in BILD (what a wonder). It depicts two teens kissing, for an upcoming RTL soap.
