DIRECTION,

MAGAZINE COVER DEFLATION.

I feel I can do anything with the brief that I am producing work that doesn't seem to be tight enough. It doesn't have a good purpose that is worth designing for, I can pretty much do any illustration I like but I am trying to narrow myself down to the wrong area of specification.
I had a chat with Joe about this problem, and we both agreed the fish cover was working well, so maybe I could change my magazine brief to:

'The Guardian are releasing a month of marine threats being discussed within their 'g2' booklet. Design the covers for these four issues, as well as a fold out poster that slips into the newspaper.'

I want to focus on the cause from:
1.Climate Change
2. Habitat loss or degradation
3.Over fishing
4.Pollution

Here are some of the areas I could create ideas from each topic:
1.
- Sea level rise
- Increased coastal flooding
- Increased sea temperatures
- Acidification of seawater


2.
- Dredging or trawling the seabed
- Coastal and offshore development
- Flood and coastal erosion risk management


3. 
- cod being overfished


4. 
- lead to obvious declines in species
- degrade ecosystems and lead to adverse effects on habitats and species.
- excessive growth of dense algal mats which blanket the seabed and foreshore
- Sea turtles can die from eating plastic bags mistaking them for jellyfish.

NOTES ON OTHER WORK:

National Portrait Gallery
- make sure all the layouts on each poster match up
- more info on poster? make sure info is appropriate?
- Hierarchy, what info needs to be seen first/clearly shown
- info leaflet?

Books
- make sure range is purposeful/thought put into it
