Final Asylum info graphic

I have added a little more info, making it (hopefully) easier to follow with out explaining it verbally.

Quotes from Selling Olga




I really need to think of something to do with these quotes, I feel it's a good thing to do, as quotes can be really powerful, I just need to find some kind of context to put them in.

Campaign Brief

I have been trying to come up with a name for the campaign that I am doing to encourage people to take a more responsible role as a British citizen.

Here are some Illustrator brain storm. Before this I had made a massive list of 'key words'.



Here are a few of my ideas for names and logos:






I think I am going to go with either Made You Think! or Think UK:






I need to do some research into people's opinions and level of education about the issues I will be discussing before narrowing it down further, I think. I don't really know the best way to go about getting this info with out patronising people.

New maps

This is the new format for the maps. I have just finished the Colonisation Map and have started work on the War Map. After that I will do the Trade Map. Im still not sure what brief they will fit into though.

Quotes from "They get mobiles..."




I decided to use a wall as the imagery in the bottom one, as it kind of seemed like speaker is 'screaming at a wall (its worth noting I had just been listening to Minor Threat).

I have also darkened this sea image as well, so it is a bit more legible.

Where I'm at

Ok, so I have decided that I want to involve more things in my FMP than just asylum seekers, as I feel that this is one issue of a few that are all linked together.

For this reason, I think that I will do one brief to do with asylum seekers - possibly designing a booklet with Sally McGee from the Refugee Council to be distributed in Refugee Week (which I believe is the week before the End of Year Show).

I will also do one brief that is to educate and encourage people to question the way that we treat the rest of the world as a wealthy Western country - this will look at issues like immigration, asylum, war, world-trade/capitalism and colonisation.

Ill write these briefs out over the next few days and post them up here (with the rest of the briefs that I haven't posted yet.)
