Together

I had been looking through some work on fffound.com, which Tom had recomended to me.  Self-described as an "image bookmarking" website, fffound.com showcases a variety of different graphic design, illustaration, photography and many other types of work.  Its a really cool website just to look at some of the work but I found it really good for inspiration too.  I came across a photograph that really caught my eye and it gave me an idea to do with global warming and its consequences, which in turn reminded me of a brief I had read on YCNs website to do with engaging with 16-25 year olds, trying to inspire them to take action against climate change.  I had decided straight away that my idea could work and so without deliberation went ahead with a project that lasted 2 days, tops.  I used the photograph I had fffound and changed it in several ways to create a series of adverts that could be placed in magazines or possibly something like bus shelters.  The awareness campaign I tried to create is more like a concept project rather than a completed, followed through application of the idea.  The reason for this is that I can't actually go out to the locations I would need to take the photographs, so I had to use other peoples images and basically just add text to them to bring the idea to life.  It was a very quick and impulsive brief and something that bridged a gap during a bit of a dry patch of inspiration and motivation.

This is the photograph Im talking about, but I'll add my adaptations in a short while.
