Proposal

The topic of this piece is underwater I have had a few ideas on what to do but here is a few things to relate to underwater:

·         Fish

·         Marine life

·         Corral

·         wrecks

·         sand

·         pollution

·         BP oil leak

·         Swimming

·         War planes

These are a few things i can relate into my poster but what i was really thinking of doing is a mix of the land world with the underwater world, or by thinking outside the box a little bit more maybe exchanging a normal reality with a water one, for example have a women wearing water shaped as clothing. Also as a mix with an anti smoking campaign having a woman blowing out toxic black smoke and oil into the ocean with a phrase like u wouldn’t pollute the sea so why pollute are air.

With the water clothing ideas i came up with that after researching online and thinking, clothing is our way of covering ourselves up of your under the cloths to hide yourself, and by making the cloths out of water you are then under a water cover so in a way that still represents underwater in a sort of outside of the box way.

With the smoking campaign poster I have manages to give myself another topic inside the underwater one which is anti smoking, having a women smoking oil and pollution into the ocean was a thought I had after looking at the BP crisis and thinking, over the years adding up all the people that smoke people blow into are air every day of the year is probably more that the BP spilled in that time of the pipe being broken, so in a way humans are polluting are air in the same way that BP were polluting the water.

If I had a client for this piece I would let them know what colours I would be using for my piece as I could make the mistake of using the colours of a rival companies which would not be a good situation, this is one of the things I would have to take into consideration when making the piece. Also they may have colours that they would like to incorporate into the piece so they suited work they may already of had done so colour is a subject I would have to bring up. In this case i am using mainly underwater colours like blues and greens in order to get that underwater look also dark browns and blacks to represent pollution, using dark natural colours I feel I can get a really good effect that could have an impact on what people think of it when they look at it. With the water cloths idea ill use bright eye catching colours i am pretty much free to use whatever colours I want in this piece the possibilities are endless but i think in order to get most of the attention on the water i will have to use quite natural colours in order not to overpower the main part of the piece. In order to keep in touch with the underwater life topic i will have her under the water so you have a human life underwater which is an abstract thought.

I would also have to explain my influences in my piece so if I showed to the customer what my influences were for the piece they may not agree and say that they do not feel the same way or they may not agree with the thoughts that you are having so it is always important to have facts and influences to back up what you are saying. In this case I am using anti smoking campaigns as a influence using things like pollution and harming the environment in order to get in touch with people feelings and hopefully getting a reaction out of it, or in terms of the water clothing idea my influences would be about using underwater as a metaphors to represent how we are undercover when we wear cloths. And how some ethnic religions cover up there bodies as a part of their religion or as some youth do now as to wear hoods to cover them from being seen. So the water is to represent the cover to a human as the water represents to cover up 70% of our planet.

Final choice of idea.

I am choosing to use my underwater oil smoke idea, the imagery will be a woman blowing out oil out of her mouth underwater and the oil will be flowing out as if she blew it out and when that oil hits the surface of the water it turns into smoke and disappears off into the atmosphere, the way in which this represents underwater life is how the oil crisis with BP polluting the sea and killing the underwater life i am using that as a comparison to how 2^nd hand smoke can also harm us as humans on land, that way i have an anti smoking campaign as well as an underwater themed image, im using the underwater life crisis of the BP incident as a reprehensive of people smoking polluting the air on the surface. Colours i will use will be dark oily natural colours like greys black and creams and dark green to really get that polluted look to the piece I want the colours to have an impact on the people who are looking at it. My influence for this work is the news; the bp crisis got a huge reaction out of a lot of people and by hopefully comparing the oil crisis and second hand smoke it might make people think about it a little bit more. The format i am choosing to use is a portrait poster, so i can fit in all the imagery i need going upwards with maybe some txt on it, the output will be at 150dpi which will give a clear enough image when it comes to printing it.
