To start the process of this brief, working with the research I had, I played around with a few simple ideas. This process of creating thumbnail sketches got some ideas off the ground to begin with and was an important step to developing a solid idea that could lead to a final product.
Working with coloured pencils helped me create quick little sketches that still had enough detail to easily transfer into a bigger, more final version (whether it was digitised or by hand on a larger scale).
When creating these images, I tried to stick to a theme/message I had decided on through brainstorming the initial drawings which was of diminishing earth resources and the deterioration of the climate. After looking at Milton Glaser's piece titled "It's Not Warming, It's Dying", I was inspired to try and create a simple digital visualisation of the deterioration of the earth and so chose a sketch I had done to develop and digitise.
After losing my USB stick, I lost all files of this design as I created them on a computer at Ravensbourne and so therefore had nothing to bring back and develop and so was left with no choice but to submit the above image as the final due to being too close to the deadline to start again.
Despite this, I felt I achieved what I was aiming to express with this piece but woulda been nice to play around with the effects of the illustration and the overall layout. I feel like the text pieces I put in could've been strengthened or maybe even completely changed. Another option would be to completely leave out the text and keep it with the illustration as this could've gone for a very simple route which would create an ambiguous element which would enable viewers to openly interpret.
