SM - Initial Ideas

Something More - Initial Ideas
OUGD603
______________________________________________________


Groups
- The group we chose consisted of myself, Kira, Jack, Tom, and Jess.
- As the presentation ended, I created another google meet which included all of us so we could discuss our ideas and what we found interesting about the brief and presentation

Ideas (Themes)
- Below are the initial themes we thought would be interesting

-Space Junk
-Government Corruption
-Global Warming
-Population
-People's Diets
-Screen Time
-Social Media
-Atomic Energy
-Deforestation
-Coral Reefs
-Destruction of Habitats
-90% of the rain is plastic

https://www.un.org/en/sections/issues-depth/global-issues-overview/
We also look at this website above to show you all the important global issues which are happening right now. We used this as inspiration.

We looked over the list and as a group said which ones we were more interested in and ones we wanted to look into further; below there is the final list we decide on.

-Space Junk
-Government Corruption
-Population
-Social Media
-Deforestation
-Coral Reefs


Space Junk
Kira started to write down words she was associated with space junk;
-gravity
-pressure
-darkness
-aliens
-metal
-wires
-blinking lights

Ideas
-project the logo on the side of a building
   - it could track the use and follow them around, like debris orbiting the earth

-logo used on a side of a rocket; like we have sponsored the rocket

-display and use the logo on social media; you have to bounce the signal off a satellite

-earth illustrated with satellite debris surrounding it; as the issue gets worse the more the orbit get clucked with debris.




Goverment Corruption

-Trump scale ; 0 - Trump of how bad our goverment is

-call people out

-reuse and manipulate the toxic symbol - twist and melt the logo ?

-project the symbol over pre-existing billboards - like on money heist

-implement the logo over politicians mouths 

GOT TO BE CAREFUL WITH THIS ISSUE AS IT IS VERY SENSITIVE 




Population

-implement the more than sign ( > )

-logo filling up - to show the increase of the population

-we don't have enough resources for everyone ( scale, balance or maybe math equation )





Social Media ( Messing people up )

-implement the more than sign ( > )

-dopamine addiction - c8h11no2

-chemical equation - which changes depending on how much you use your phone
    -this could be colour
    -size
    -how much of the logo is displayed

-the previous point could be linked with the data on your phone about your screen time and how much you spend on certain apps




Deforestation

-Tree with or without leaves depending on how bad the issue is

-more or fewer trees depending on how bad the issue is






Coral Reefs

-losing colour

-coral bleaching
  -caused by global warming.  - we are causing it! 
     - the heat of the water changes it
When water is too warm, corals will expel the algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues causing the coral to turn completely white. This is called coral bleaching. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead. Corals can survive a bleaching event, but they are under more stress and are subject to mortality.
https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coral_bleach.html#:~:text=When%20water%20is%20too%20warm,and%20are%20subject%20to%20mortality.

  -caused by chemicals in the water.  - we are causing it!

-advertise it on plastic products as well as water products

-different of water to land

-great barrier reef

-all the chemicals which cause bleaching as the logo and they grow in scale when it gets worse

-put the logo on a side of a boat and it changes colour depending on the temperature of the water.

-shape could be the outline of the great barrier reef



Starting Point

-as a group, we all came to a collective decision that the best one to do would be coral reefs as it is quite interesting and has a lot we can do with it. As well as coral is very easy to depict and identify as they often come in very unique shapes and they are natural found in very bright and vibrant colours.

-Find Issues within the coral reefs
    -4 issues

-Then think of how to depict them issues as logo through sketches.
