Research - Text and Image

The ridiculousness of our opinions to public breastfeeding:

Article where lady shows how ridiculous it is we are appalled by breastfeeding in public:

Kristina is funny in her approach, highlights the weird things we do when feeding our babies by flipping it to be on herself.
- think about this approach when making the pamphlet poster. 

'By breastfeeding in public, we are spreading the lie that breasts have a purpose other than just to turn someone on'
- Kristina demonstrates the bizarre connection we have to breasts in the UK, wanting to highlight the issue, not shy away from it. She is very brash in her approach, do I want to communicate the same in my poster? How will the images translate to a different format?

The message in the article and in Kristina's video is very positive, however the way she is doing so might not be appropriate for my poster. Could use similar methods of ridiculous imagery to convey the same message.

Newspaper Cartoons:

Demonstrating the public/political views on brexit at the time.

 These are often used to push political agenda, but they always have a humorous twist. Always very dramatic and always thought provoking whether you agree or not.
Evokes suspicion rather than sympathy due to the harsh nature of the content, but they do make the public think about their actions.


Images such as the one above also shine light on the mad opinions we have on breastfeeding in public, again quite provocative in the presentation of the ideology but will make the audience think about the content as they'll either react positively or negatively. 

- incorporate the cartoon style into own work, suited to the content but also as I don't have access to models to take photographs of it provides a solution.
