The purpose of this exercise was to choose a subject and create a drawn visual list of objects and subjects that could be used to symbolise the subject in a visual shorthand.
I started with a spidergram which then led me to some ideas for visual communication.
My first thoughts when I envisioned economic catastrophe was how it was created by greedy fat bankers. Cheshire cat types with the fake smiles. |
Savings: how many thousand of people all over the world lost all their savings? The metaphor is the safety of savings programs that are sitting on a time bomb. |
Swimming in a sea of debt. The unsinkable ship (bank) disappearing into the sea of debt. |
I could have done a lot more countries here, but the metaphor is clear enough. This could be quite powerful if drawn up properly |
I just love my little piggy bank metaphor so thought I would give it an international feel. The entire world economy blowing up. Very political! |
Back to the Greeks leading the way in how not to run a country. But I think I prefer the dominos. It's a simpler, more straightforward message |
