quick digital mockups of some ideas using found images.

 worker combined with machine, mechanised minset and work of factories, poor treatment of workers like disposible machines, not human.

The chinese word means 'human'
sewing superstores, holding them together.

dada- ish poster i made, we often never wonder who makes what we buy, assuming it was made by a machine or ignoring the plight of workers in another country because it's not our problem.

found this while researching.

Idea developments

I've been focusing on the combination of machine and human to show how mechanised the workers are and also our perceptions of them, we don't realise our stuff is made by other people.

Visual Rhetoric

 Examples of visual rhetoric and aesthetics i thought might fit with my ideas.

I especial like this one as it only adds a small element to the image and yet it adds a huge meaning.

Topics.

After watching the videos on the topics i feel that i want to focus on superstores, especially after all the ideas we generated in class about them. There seems to be a lot of different angles I could take against superstores.

Class

In class today we got put into groups to argue for and against the topics.

I got against Superstores. After discussing and brainstorming with my group we came up with a lot of good points. I think I will argue against superstores for my poster.
