For our first brief we were given the task of producing a piece of work about what democracy means to us. For my piece i decided to question whether or not democracy works. After researching into the subject i came to the conclusion that democracy does not and cannot possibly work, it is merely wishful thinking and would only exist in some kind of utopia. So the idea behind my work is a series of posters that illustrate man made inventions that dont work. I illustrated a square wheel and an upside down umbrella. Had i had more time i would have liked to have added more posters to the set however i struggled to come up with many inventions that could be easily recognisable and that could be illustrated. I went for a childlike style to imply how children see the world through rose tinted glasses, this reflects my idea that democracy is merely frivolous and futile concept.
