Since last week I created some more collages, trying to emphasise the themes and time periods that I had associated with my different sites. For Haining Street I have focused on the early 1900s, the time of the Chinese settlers in Wellington. For the Thomas murders I have used a 1980s, Wall St approach. Finally, for the Trades Hall bombing, I have tried to look at a 70s, union protest angle.
On the second lesson we critiqued these latest designs and it was apparent that my designs weren't really communicating a sense of danger or crime. This is obviously something I need to work on, as it is the core concept of the brochure, and I need to communicate perhaps a more sinister vibe.
