When discussing my previous work in my last post, I mentioned about celebrity identity and mis- representation of people in the media. It's something that I feel strongly about as I believe that media has became a huge part of life, social media and television being largely available to each of us. I think that it's the main way of communicating nowadays, and so I follow it a lot.
I disagree with some ways of western culture and therefore content of the media that I like to address in my work. It is something we will be part of as illustrators so I think it's important.
Everyone listens to tv and the internet and rely on what they get from it as valuable information - so anything can taken too seriously.
When we got the 'that's pants' Brief, I pitched this as an idea - about media being a bad influence. We discussed the issues of bad celebrity role models, obsessions with celebs, obsession with appearance etc, and I liked this because I got to communicate what I think is pants (from these ideas we came up with a campaign to stop children from growing up too fast which I think is relevant to what i'm saying)
