Start of a new project! Fun. This one's all about inequality in New Zealand, and we're making posters around one of the social issues of our choosing. Today in class we played Pictionary which was super fun, and looked at everyone's drawings, and then the lecturers switched it up on us and told us we were to make our first inequality poster with one of the drawings.

We also had two mini lecturers from guests about equality for women and racism towards pacific people – Notes below for more research & pull quotes:

• When someone gets mugged do we ask what they were wearing?
  
• Mental illness - Men asking for help for mental illness
  
• Immigration - Dawn raids - Dawn raids exhibition 
  
• Peter theil bought immigration to NZ but Dawn raids were a thing 
  
• "It happened here" - hate crime reports 
• Emory Douglas

I ended up doing a couple poster explorations, and tried to pick imagery that I thought others might not do to have some variety. One that stood out to me was an image of a crowd, which instantly made me think of a quote I had heard in preliminary research for this project: There's 4x as many CEOs in NZ named John than there are women.

I also explored a couple different sketches which can be seen below. I loved the very simple nature of these posters and the exercise in general was top notch, I usually hate poster making and collage/photoshop but loved this exercise because it forced me to have an idea and imagery already set, which is oddly what I like.
