Competition Time - Poster ideas & leaflet

I wanted to make my poster quite fun and eye catching using the combination of an overweight person and an unhealthy food.

I played around with the idea of incorporating the two in to one strong image and ended up designing a leaflet where the second page is of the mans insides including the unhealthy foods he has eaten that has lead to his obesity. I also wanted to include statistics/facts about the pharmaceutical, meat & dairy industry and how it's affecting our health negatively.

I went with this drawing for my final work. I developed the drawing using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to change the colours and play around with text.
I used bright yellows and reds only on the fast food posters as these are usually the colours that make us feel hungry and are on most fast food packaging. I tried to keep the rest of the poster quite simple using more subtle tones.

Here are the final pages of my leaflet:

I'm really happy with the outcome of these. Its an informative leaflet with fun colours and drawings that would definitely catch peoples attention. I think it's easy to get bored when there is too much information on a leaflet with hardly any visuals so this would work well for the message its trying to bring across.

Competition Time - Development

I've decided to make an informative leaflet or poster to go with my video.

I began by jotting down key words related to the topic I chose and started making small collages out of card to put together to make posters.

I then made some small doodles to inspire me for some poster ideas.

Competition Time - Creative Conscience

For this project, I decided to go with the creative conscience open brief. The aim is to create a project to bring awareness to and solve a problem I'm passionate about.
I decided to make my work about the meat, dairy & pharmaceutical industry and how they manipulate us to make profit at the expense of citizens. I'm very passionate about nutrition and this is a very important topic thats not discussed enough. The nutrition and healthy living guidelines we've all grown up with and have followed for years are making us sicker.

I began my research by watching the 'What the Health' documentary which is about preventing and reversing chronic diseases and why health organisations are not telling us the truth.
I took some notes, then had a look at some of the U.K's health organisation websites where similar to the documentary, I found that they were recommending cancer and heart disease patients recipes with meat, dairy and eggs.

I want to create a piece of work that shows almost a time lapse of how what we consume is making us sicker and killing us.
I decided to video myself making a big drawing of people, fast food chains and a hospital all growing bigger and bigger. I started off by recording a small plan using pencil & paper.

I really enjoyed making this drawing. I'm usually terrible at drawing big and even worse at drawing in perspective but I really liked the outcome in the end. I didn't want a perfect drawing that looked amazing aesthetically but wanted to show a sense of time and growth and think that this captured that idea quite well.

Now, I've jotted down some key words and have started making small collages which I'm going to try to put together in to posters.
