Democracy For a Day

Today we had a day project called 'Democracy' in which we had to create a poster about democracy within groups. Our group decided to take a different stance suggesting that democracy may not be such a good thing. We used the quote, 'Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide' by John Adams. We used an outline of the body of a child from an image that we had found, to create the idea of a chalk outline. We produced two ideas, one hand made using newspaper cut letters and another using Illustrator. Within our group we decided to use the poster created on Illustrator as it looked more professional. We realised there were problems with it, the text was slightly too small and later in the crit we realised we had not authored the quote. However, we all worked well within our group, delegating tasks and researching individually.
