YR 2: Protest Pack

Project 4: Protest Pack

Chosen topic/issue: Anti-Fox Hunting Protest

For this project I am creating a protest pack to fight against an issue that I feel needs addressing. I chose fox hunting as there is a lot of issues concerning the strength of the ban and the hunters who continue to carry out their hunts, despite a ban being in place.

Examples of protest materials:

Quick Brainstorming:

Thumbnail Ideas:

I drew out some rough thumbnails to decide how to approach this project: do I go for a sympathetic approach, a more aggressive approach or a humour approach?

Information:

Chosen Thumbnail Ideas:

I narrowed it down to a sympathetic approach, depicting a mother fox and her cub crying, to appeal to those who may not be aware of what suffering foxes go through.

Final Thumbnail Drawing:

Thumbnail Media Experiments:

I looked at what media I could possibly use to get the affect I am looking for, using markers and coloured pencils.

Poster Designs (Digital Approach):

Although I had originally to focus on an analogue approach, I wasn’t pleased with the results, and wasn’t confident on how to carry the approach onwards, so I decided to see if a digital approach would yield better results.

Banner Designs

To add to my protest pack, I will need to include more than just posters, so I will look at other ways of getting a point across.

Placard Design

Leaflet Design Attempt

With some advice, I decided to look at making a leaflet for the purpose of spreading the information to those who may not be aware of what happens during the fox hunts.

After feedback:

Despite my efforts to approach the project with a digital point of view, the results were not as pleasing as I thought they’d be. However, I will return to my analogue drawings as it gathered stronger attention from my peers. I will also add digital effects, combining the two methods together.
