Outcome Format Brainstorm & Selection

Considering the different formats I could use where responding to the brief, I refined the options down to three choices I have considered taking forwards. The brainstorm below shows a brief listing of the possibilities and benefits that could come from producing my outcome in one of these ways.

Where I felt an animation would be a really strong option, if done to the best of my ability, to convey the different important factors to represent both the brief and The Orangutan Foundation, it is not a personal strength of mine to work in this way. Where I would be willing to commit the time to producing an effective animation, I also want to use the time I have to complete this project wisely, and would not want to fall at potential hurdles I could set up for myself.

Similarly, creating a narrative through either a short story or comic strip would be really beneficial where conveying necessary information, but I think I want to take a more 'in-your-face' approach, in order to really raise awareness and show to people the impact and support The Orangutan Foundation are aiming to represent.

Research I completed as a result of my thesis regarding the successful impact of activist artworks, has swayed me to produce a series, myself. Extensive research I completed and then wrote about allowed me to learn and prove effective, emotive, thought-provoking and engaging elements to be incorporated where producing activist artworks. These include bright, beautiful and colourful features to showcase the beauty of what exists and what we should be saving, with dystopian elements to act not as necessarily the main subject of the artwork, but as a warning to make us think of the disastrous outcomes as a result of not making changes - in this case, deforestation, and what happens each day as it is allowed to continue.

Below are a few initial sketches where considering ways in which my outcomes could be displayed to instantly gain attention and recognition.
