Democracy

This was a one day project to work as a team to design a poster that interprets Democracy.
We started the brief off by brainstorming the meaning and ideas on Democracy. This lead us to several ideas for our poster. I found that working as a team produced a wider variety of ideas and therefore gave us many different routes to go down for the final outcome. We all had our individual say towards the design of the poster and explored each others ideas. We researched into the lifestyle of ants, as they are known to have their own democracy rules within their organized colonies. We thought this would be a fun and original approach to the thought of democracy!
Our poster showed the map of the world as a puzzle - with missing pieces. The missing pieces were the countries without democracy for example, China, Zimbabwe, North Korea and Cuba. The ants are carrying these missing puzzle pieces towards the world. The meaning of our poster was to show that 'Many hands make light work.' In other words, if we all work together we can create a fair democracy. This poster is targeted towards countries neglected from democracy; to encourage them to fight for their rights.
