Project Update: Statement of Intent Poster Draft

Last week we were given an hour to take three photos and come up with a poster design that represents our statement of intent. I took a photo of some sand, plants and a pair of scissors.

I created a globe to represent both my journey to sustainability as well as TCKs as a community. I created a crack in the middle which shows the disconnect some individuals feel as a TCK. Though coming out of the crack are some broken pieces which represent the missing pieces i need to require to live more sustainable.

This exercise lead me to a better idea to develop my poster.

This first idea is definitely much better than what I had before. I used a page from a yearbook as my school since pretty much everyone in that book is a TCK. I also took a different picture of a plant and made it look like it was growing out of my head to represent my growth not only as a TCK but in sustainability too. The 'base' of the globe is a photo of a woven floor mat which represents connection within the community as the strands weave into one another. I played around with the placement of the text and placed it radiating out in circles and rays to again represent growth.

What's Next?:

• Based on feedback, I am going to change the layout of my poster and not focus so much on the globe.

• Look for other ways to incorporate TCKs without it looking too nostalgic. Perhaps add some illustration/doodles too it to give more character to the different personalities.
