Studio Brief 02:
My interest in the issue of missing persons was sparked by my research into Syrian Graffiti from the V&A's Disobedient Objects exhibition as I found the project really inspiring because it commemorates those lost in the Syrian revolution as martyrs, not just a statistic on the news. Further research into the topic lead me to subjects such as missing persons from the violent drug wars of Columbia and Mexico. This research exposed me to a variety of missing people posters from around the world and I identified that the basic skeleton of the poster was the same on an international scale.
My decision to focus on the Missing People charity was influenced by feedback sessions because I had identified that missing people in the UK need an increased awareness of the support systems. The more I researched and developed the concept, the more I realised the sensitivity and complexity of the issue. This made it a challenge to target a specific audience and adapt the language to suit
Experimenting with the tab concept allowed me to create a contemporary solution for a research based project. Traditional printing is a passion of mine so I am pleased I managed to imbed this into both of the studio briefs and demonstrates my skills and time management.
Towards the end of the project I felt rushed and therefore my blogging and design boards suffered. I would have liked to have taken the poster into a digital, interactive platform that removes the layer depending on where the audience touches.
