In class today i felt that it was a very good feedback lesson because we all had to present our mood boards to the class and explain what we thinking when we created our mood boards. The feedback i got off of Adam was very helpful because he made me think how i wanted to create my zine cover, like the type of typography i should be using, should the pictures be in black and white or colour, what should be on the cover, may be not make things so obvious etc. I don't think i will be using Robert Mugabe in my zine because having him in my zine would be the bigger picture, im just trying to concentrate on poverty of the people of Africa.

Making a moodboard
Back dated to September 12th 2010.
I decided on the topic that i feel strongly about and that topic is Poverty.
When i think about poverty i instantly think about Africa and the amount of people that are starving and dying everyday as well as the amount of people who are poor and can just survive on what they have.
I started with the word poverty and basically put down everything that i thought was linked to poverty in Africa. The images that i used i think were effective because it showed children who are starving and have no choice in what situation they are born into. Another of the images that i used was the currency of money that comes from Zimbabwe, i put this image in there because i thought that all these people can be millionaires in Zimbabwe and still be dirt poor. Also was a picture of Robert mugabe because he sits on a immense amount of wealth and lives in a masion while his people are having their homes bull dozed and living in poor conditions. I used bold lettering as well that made certain words stand out.

the "Zine"
Back dated to September 15th 2010
1st lesson in graphics today, basically the lesson was about introducing us to our project which was about making a magazine based on a topic that we feel passionate about and be able to express this through our "ZINE". The lesson was also about breaking the ice and getting to know a bit more about each other through a game exercise which was about me and everybody else writing down on 3 different note papers, what our dislikes are, what we like and a lie about ourselves. I think that it worked because we had fun doing it and learned things about our peers that we may not have known otherwise. We also looked at some examples of Graphic work.
