The journey to my final idea:
Now I wanted to create a blog post now to showcase where my head is at the the FMP stage and the focus I want my designs to be on.
At first I was going to create something to do with travel (I even created a logo) the idea was going to be about student travel, BUT I HAVE DONE THIS. I experimented bu telling people and basing it off their reactions and from this I knew if it was the idea or not. One day I told my mum, and the reaction was crao because I had already done this last year just on Florida. So I changed my ideas.
For a while I was stuck, I would spend days writing ideas down etc. I have recently been so devoted to ww2 films and the idea of understand what it was like to be in the way, whether that be a solider, a mother, a kid, a a wife etc, and the general life through the war. I went to Anne frank house and it was the most amazing expeicner and from this I knew I would want to find out more.
Not only because I want to learn for myself, I also want to encourage people to really understand what it was like for people during WW2. This year is the 75th anniversary of VE Day, my parents are moving down to the coast and they have parade there and from this topic of conversation is where the idea sparked from. I am aiming to go to imperial war museums, collect images form people and create an entire advertising campaign for the British legend education people of the personal stories and the after maths of WW2. Everyone knows about the war so it seems silly to educate people, I want this to be a campaign where we provide to the next generation what this certain generation had to go through and the after math it left those solders and families it was never the same after the war, mentally and physically for people and that’s what I want this campaign to show.
