Over Easter, I had a lot of 'Visual Communication' work to do - but I was really distracted. After doing research for my 'Greetings From...' brief and beginning to pull together my COP pecha kucha, my findings made me think really differently about the world I live in, and things that never struck me as important (animal welfare, mass Western consumerism, the environment etc) suddenly became important.
I watched a lot of documentaries and felt as though I'd educated myself a bit as to what goes on in the world beyond my life of going to university, having fun and so on. It made me really angry to think of what the human race is capable of and that being born into this well off climate made me feel almost guilty that I'm just spending my time doing a course as self-fulfilling as 'Illustration' - perhaps I could be doing something more accomplishing with my life?

But then after speaking to peers and tutors etc, everybody agrees that prior to this revelation, I illustrated to say something and to kick back against something, and now I think this is definitely what I want to pursue within my practice.
