Today we looked into fanzines and the way
they were created. The limit on
materials and resources meant that some powerful pieces of design were
created.
By just using magazines and newspapers we
had to create a collage design that was relevant to our chosen issue. I found
the task really interesting and rewarding, it was really refreshing to create
something by hand rather than on computer; I will definitely try to do this
more often. The outcome is a lot better compared to what I was expecting. This
is definitely a method I will experiment with again. The design does have a
sinister, eerie vibe especially the cut out of eyes.
The top center has the large ransom style
word ‘Privacy’ underneath is a bold ‘we’ll take it’. The eyes in between help
to illustrate the idea that the government is watching us and we don’t know
whose eyes they are!
‘Looks normal, actually insane’ written
over David Cameron sums up his decisions on removing encrypted software.
‘Nobody’s any the wiser’ Is supposed to relate to how most of the public don’t
really know what’s going on or what this new law could mean.
‘Vodafone – power
to you’ the you has been crossed out and replaced with politicians to show how
we no longer really have any power over who knows what about our lives.
‘Cameron: I will bring the future, prepare for hell’ is pretty
self-explanatory.
I would like to spend more time creating
another one of these but perhaps one with just eyes and one with just type. I
think the eye idea could work well on a large scale and as backing for computer
generated work as it gets across the daunting feeling that people are watching
you.
