For this pair of posters I was looking at what was representative of employment to me and also our attitudes to work in New Zealand and perhaps globally. I was going to look at particular aspects of jobs I've had and the ideal job for me after I graduate. But decided to go with something a bit more general but still personally relevant, so I went with work shirts, the Hare side will be represented by a business shirt and tie which links back to the initial catalyst for my project, the man being hit by the bus. For the tortoise side I have been working on the shirt, which is a shirt of mine, more casual with the sleeves rolled up, reflecting a more casual approach to a creative job.
I also started thinking a lot more about politics and how two sided they were. Speaking in a confusing language. When they said they wanted to "broaden the tax bracket" what they really meant was to shift the tax burden from the rich to the poor. This was termed the New Zealand Experiment by Jane Kelsey from Auckland University. Currently our right wing government is looking at privatising our country again to stimulate the economy under smoke screens,but this is another story. Also there is a bit about how much politicians earn and their living allowances being heavily inflated and them abusing their privileges. This is where I cam up with this concept. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES with EARN YOUR TAKE layered over the top. It becomes confusing to the viewer what is really being said.
As you can see from the above images, I started putting more thought into how I could portray that it was about money while not being so heavy handed in my approach. Looking close up at our money and how patterns are made and the use of layering colours to create secondary colours.
