Today we worked on exercises that allowed us to use quick bursts of creativity in order to depict various ideas of inequality. I based mine off of gender inequality. Then there were 3 different timed rounds, the first two we were given random words, I got a dog and a snail. Then we were allotted a certain amount of time to come up with at least 10 thumbnail sketches using image and text to depict our category of inequality through relating it to our word. For the last round we were given a metaphor, I received "as mad as a meat axe" and with this we had a similar task of coming up with an image that related to our metaphor in a way that depicted our specific type of inequality. Through this exercise I was able to come up with various abstract ideas of how to depict gender inequality that I wouldn't of thought of previously if I hadn't been forced to relate it to those words or phrase. It also help stir up some creativity for poster concepts and gave me a better understanding how how to relate image and text. This exercise will allow me to think more freely when considering a design for my poster project.
