Prototype 2 Development

For the second prototype there was influence from Barbara Kruger's style of collage. Although this is not as linked to the style of propaganda, it still asks people to not trust what they hear and encourages individual thinking.



Although this design uses more collage rather than Kruger does, it still resembles her style quite heavily. For this project to work it needs more individual designs to break away from what people have seen before; this is the only way to capture attention.


This design can also be linked to the style used for the ‘demon eyes’ election poster deployed unsuccessfully by the Conservatives against Tony Blair in 1997. The design uses a similar colour pallet and use of collage, although the meaning is very different. Perhaps the design could be developed to resemble something as aggressive and powerful as this, and then create a caption that has a completely opposite meaning.
