Week 3.1

Class work:

Today we examined our four posters without text, to examine how effective the imagery is and what text would work well with each image.

We established that my third poster – the one of the man in the moon – is my most effective imagery, however my intended meaning doesn’t come across (an elderly person isolated from their family / society because of neglect and mental health issues) and the poster has too much of a ‘joyful’ vibe, not the sombre vibe I was attempting to capture.

I also discovered that I really need to do some more in depth research in order to narrow down my broad topic of ‘ elder abuse’, so that I can identify a select few ideas that I can work with, as at the moment there are too many possibilities and I’m not going to be able to move forward. Once I put my research all together, I’ll be able to get a better idea of what imagery would work, and what text would go with it.
