I decided to do a poster inspired by a picture I saw (a few days before we got the project) of a sand sculpture by Indian artist Sudarsan Pattnaik. The sculpture depicted the drowned Syrian boy lying face down on the beach.
I then tried writing "Save Us" in the shape and colours of this sculpture. I also thought about making a collage out of newspaper headlines and articles but in the end I decided to use whole pages instead of smaller pieces. For my final poster I used coloured paper for the letters that represented the boy's clothes.
I positioned the "save us" so that the pictures of the drowned boy could be seen in the articles behind.
I think these images make the poster more thought-provoking and also give the poster more depth.
If we did this project again, I would work out how to make the "S" more legible while still suggesting the shape of the boy's head.
