IDEA DEVELOPMENT
(A LOOK INTO MY SKETCHBOOK...)
THE SOCIAL ISSUE I CHOSE TO PORTRAY WAS FAST FASHION, BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING SO PREVALENT AND NORMALIZED IN OUR SOCIETY, YET ONE OF THE BIGGEST HUMANITARIAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES.
I PORTRAYED THIS THROUGH THE ILLUSTRATION OF SOMETHING DISPOSABLE (THE DILAPIDATED GLOBE IN THE SHAPE OF A PLASTIC BAG) FALLING OFF A HANGER.
THIS POSTER AIMS TO CALL TO THE VIEWER'S ATTENTION HOW FAST FASHION COMPANIES LOOK AT THE PEOPLE AND WORLD THEY ARE IMPACTING- DISPOSABLE.
I USED A PINK BACKGROUND TO PULL IN THE FASHION, ATTRACTIVE ELEMENT TO CHEAP AND TRENDY CLOTHES, ALONG WITH THE SCRIPT FONT OF THE WORD 'FASHION', WITH A BOLD AND SERIOUS FONT TO ENCOURAGE THE VIEWER TO CONSIDER THE EFFECTS AND LIVES THAT FAST FASHION HARMS.
