Poster (image only) Development

Using the page 3 idea as suggested in crit, taking the images of boobs usually found on page 3 of a newspaper and replacing with a photo of a breastfeeding woman.
Wanting to display the irony in sexualising women's breasts when they're breastfeeding.


Here the section showing the page in the newspaper is page 3 is enlarged, showing the audience that the image is in fact on a page 3 article. However the hierarchy of the newspaper means this isn't the first thing the audience would read, you read the title first which has no link to the design.

Taking the background and filling with black textured paper, allows the newspaper too stand out in contrast against a darker background. However the same issues as the previous image apply. 

To try and make it more obvious that an alteration has been made, placing the before and after image of the newspaper on the poster was done. Still it isn't super obvious what the aim of the poster is, can notice the difference between the two but doesn't translate as strongly as a visual as originally thought. 

Editing the background, making it darker to make the image stand out more? 
Having the newspaper cover of the breastfeeding woman next to more page 3 articles of women not breastfeeding but flaunting their boobs on the page. Shows more contrast in the images. Does this highlight the irony or not?


Having with other original page 3

Having portrait - doesn't fit the format well, as the poster is landscape

Having the paper in context (rough mock up) - it doesn't add anything to the messagem if anything it distracts the focal point of the poster, the breastfeeding woman on page 3. The page 3 is also so small the audience won't be able to read it easily. 

Having multiple images of other page 3's doesn't add to the message, if anything it takes the focus away from the breastfeeding image. Wanting to evoke sympathy not suspicion, using many images of page 3 magazines makes it seem in some way less.
