Aesop's Fable photo research

8.11-12

My poster concept is based on a classic story book (Aesop's fable)

From here on I've been looking on the story frames and layouts.

I quite liked the idea(Alice in the wonderland) of putting image on top of letters.

so it looks like a print but it is actually in storybook format.

I do not know which format i will use for my poster, I'll have to explore more.

i'm going to use making familiar unfamiliar technique 

in order to add a twist in my message.

Poster design

8.11 

Recently I have been working on my poster design in bigger format..

I personally liked two ideas

voting is a stair/step/bridge to no where.

and

What politicians say is like a fiction.

To be honest i was more confident on the idea of stairs made out of ballot paper more 

because i though the visual element would be more stronger.

Matt said he likes the idea for both so i could sway in whatever way i want to i guess..

as i include colour and the contrast more into the image i decided to put my font over the image.

8.11 Phoebe said..

butterfly is a symbol for freedom and happiness.

If i used bat it could look more like if something bad is going to happen to the stair. 

If i wanted to use this idea i had to make steps more accurate and stable on top but show it crumbles apart in the bottom.

At the moment focus is at the second half of the page

because of the colour and the heaviness of the layout.

this poster was designed to be more about people not knowing what politician to choose

because they all look the same 

but i definitely like the idea of story book illustration concept (ex. Aesop's fable)

I will have to work on this idea.

-What politicians say is like a fiction.

Thumbnails for voting

7.10~8.10

This is what we did in class ages ago..

I tried to mix idea of con and pro in order to get my brain working 

In my own time I thought about both pro/con ideas so i could choose which one i want to do.

Most of the strong idea that i had was pro.

I had some ideas on cons on this page but the only good idea that i had was voting is a bridge to no where.

:Making a bridge out of ballot paper so it is unstable and crumbles later on. 

Then i got into details and generated some ideas.

the message that i tried to come across on this page was that they are forcing us to vote but nothing changes so it doesn't worth anything. 

the message that i tried to come across on this page was 

that they are forcing us to vote but politicians all look the same to us.

The other idea that i talked about with Matt and Phoebe is 

:what politicians say is like a fiction.

This idea was mostly based on the fact that we as student don't have much information about politicians because majority doesn't watch tv, 

they rather look at facebook or messengers.

I tried to use minimalism for ideas on top.

Then i played around with my strongest idea voting is a bridge to no where

because it will break after a while.

In this page i tried to use expressionism by using scribbles and lines.

These two are more illustrative but i tried to explore my idea more on this point.

What I've done in class for 4 weeks

8.11

So I have been sick for 1 and a half week and completely lost track for another few weeks

but I'll blog my processes before it is too late :)

This is what I've done in class to help me develop my ideas.

I have other researches done in my workbook.

My topic that I've chosen for my poster is Anti-voting.

I thought It will be interesting to see some new ideas..

I came across looking at the videos 

from Russell Brand(con), Tony Benn(pro).

It was interesting to see that Tony Benn(pro) mentioned 

that we have no power so we have to use their system in order to control governments.

also he mentioned the difference between people who can't vote and who don't vote.

If we have right he said we have to vote.

In contrast Russell Brand(con) speaks in a weak point of view.

Russell mentions that the politics doesn't help the weak.

He says society is full of fake and they lie.

He says we have to face reality and change society by ourselves.

they are both good speakers but they have weak points in their debate.

Between Benn(pro)'s video he says that the system is designed for the majority not for minors. That is the best that they can do as a human.

This also tells that If majority doesn't get affected they will not change politics for minor people.

Brand(con)'s debate was passionate but it was swayed towards emotion more.

What he said is true nothing changes for minors so they have to do it by themselves.

But everyone are humans therefore no one knows future.

Therefore governments could make a change further on.

but in order to make it happen someone will have to vote.

I'm not saying they are wrong their video was great :)

From this point I've searched some images to reference and develop my idea

Most of this posters and campaigns are pro. 

They rely on civilians trust and they are asking us to vote.

poster for con doesn't have much proof to say voting is bad too.

From this point we see that this topic on voting is in grey area more than B&W.

than i tried to come up with quotation.

This random input helped me to start designing my poster.

The idea that i'm going for is ..

Voting is a bridge to nowhere.
