Studio Brief 2: Design Development

In order to respond to feedback I've decided to develop my initial ideas further mainly focusing on figure 1 as this was my most successful experimentation. In order to solve the problem raised within peer-to-peer feedback I've experimented with different ways to represent the idea that women have achieved the right to vote but still need other things to become equal. Figure 1 features the use of a tick to indicate this however this looks quite awkward and miss-placed within the print. and also fails to clearly represent the concept. Furthermore due to this experimentation I've decided to remove the vote and simplify the print further to read 'give women ...' as this avoids the use of tick and the implication that women shouldn't have the vote. The placement of the text also works well within this experimentation as it works within the faming of the face creating a balanced look print. However upon receiving further feedback it was suggested to experiment with the incorporation of a tick list to better reflect what women still have to achieve (see figure 2). Furthermore I've decided to conduct more research into Leonora Cohens legacy to incorporate charities and organisations she was involved in that are active in Leeds today to further link the riot to modern issues. However conducting this research I decided to incorporate what she achieved through her life in Leeds as this better reflected her and paid reference to her use within the poster more effectively than using modern charities. Overall figure 3 represents my concept well as once filled in, which will occur during the printing process it will identify issues women face today whilst linking to previous issues that women overcame therefor relating to the riot in 1908 and Leonora Cohen herself.
