mark making

Experimenting with images

One of my ideas is to do a split screen of a person drinking dirty water vs clean water.  These pics havent turned out great so im still working on getting it tidier.

Dirty water, would you drink it?

I am hoping to make this the title of my poster Dirty water, would you drink it? and hopfully using some of my own photography.

I like this type of poster with a gruesome picture and a shocking title



DIRTY WATER Vending Machine / UNICEF (tap project)

       I think this clip is great, a project increasing awareness of dirty water.

I think this sort of image which text saying. 'Would you drink it?' would make you think about it.  When you see photos of children having to drink that water its very sad.  But the thought of you having to drink it would probably shock people more.  People think because its not happening to them they dont have to worry about it, but you need to put yourself in that situation and realise this is happening to people all over the world every day.

The right to clean water

I think all these pictures of water are quite nice to look.  But personally i think posters need a image that will shock you.  The t-shirt below which says 'Clean water is a human right'  is giving the right message but doesnt leave you thinking about it.

Water

Water has always been an important and life-sustaining drink to humans and is essential to the survival of all organisms^.  Excluding fat, water composes approximately 70% of the human body by mass. It is a crucial component of metabolic processes and serves as a solvent for many bodily solutes. Health authorities have historically suggested at least eight glasses, eight fluid ounces each (168 ml) of water per day.
