Research FMP

looking at different patters i wanted to see how i could improve on my pattern and i concluded that maybe i should add more colour and maybe more detail. I spoke to Elaine and have booked a screen printing session next Monday so I can decide my final idea by then. using screen print means that i will have no tonal elements and limited colours so I need to keep this in mind when finalising my idea.

I thought a good way of combining the tree ideas that i have would be to use info graphics so I tried to combine the three ideas i have using the same style. I looked at Olli Bird’s illustrations :http://ollibird.com/projects/ as inspiration for the illustrations, and edited them on illustrator.

•  tries to educate parents on why children shouldn’t go on hand held devices  until the age of 12.
• This made me think that i could possibly educate parents on the dangers
• however I already have 3 main ideas that i want to convey and have to link them together so i think that adding extra may be too much for the amount of time.
• Although some of the facts might be usefull.

 

Claire also told me to look into some info graphics which made me decide that i might  want to include shocking facts to prove my point.

Research/inspiration

I found an artist on instagram that I touches on similar themes as mine. I like the use of line and flat colour as it is simple but gets the point across. I want  to try and encorporate similar ideas into my illustrations

The black of a bus seat might be an effective place to place a poster, for example the words “look out the window’ written on the seat may force people to look up from their phones.

I was thinking of ideas to make my campaign more interactive and effective, and thought of maybe having something you can take away with you to remind yourself to reduce your time on social media. I thought of maybe having a sticker that you put on your phone so that when you see it you are reminded to not pick it up.
