Week 2.2

We continued to work on our concepts and also received some one on one feedback. At the moment, I'm developing concepts based on child poverty as a whole topic such as the effects on their education, mental and physical health and just overall living conditions. I found that coming up with a saying and basing my concepts on that made it easier to come up with ideas. Though I'm having trouble coming up with a lot of good metaphors that I can see myself using in my final posters. A lot of them convey a serious tone - which is typical. I find my ideas with the use of satire more interesting.

I need to narrow my topic down further. The effect poverty has on a child's mentality and future interests me the most, so I'm going to focus on that. After researching more on this, I found that children in the poorest households are three times more likely to have a mental illness than children in wealthy households. It then affects their cognitive skills and education. Also, the relationship between poverty and childhood disorder appears more for boys than for girls. 

In terms of stylistic approach, I'm not focusing on one style at the moment as there are a few styles I want to explore. I'll definitely do some sort of illustration and maybe combine that with photography.
