Are you feeling Blue?

This is the first article i chose to work with. It was published in the Guardian and focused on The Sun's decision to no longer support the Labour party, after 12 years. Reading through the article gave me a few points of focus for the week long brief.

1) The polls and where labour stand in the run up to the election

I began focusing on the role of Rupert Murdoch, who has reportedly had dinner at Cameron's house. Murdoch, is the owner of The Sun newspaper published by News International, a subsidiary of News Corp. Murdoch claims he has handing over running of News International to his sun. But could he be the most influencial business man in the world?

The half toning of Rupert Murdoch's face into the tree logo of the conservative party didn't work as well as i'd hoped. I rushed into abit i think rather than exploring different options.
Quick 5minute piss take.

I had a tutorial with my tutor fred and he asked me why i trace and draw when that has nothing to do with my design practice. He gave me a good tip about how i could work so i'm in the process of trying it out. Photocopying and working over the photocopy.

12 point poll lead for the conservatives for the third month running

I like how this image turned out. Not entirely sure how i'd be able to screen print it. It is only 4 colours essentially. Need to research into colour separation for screen print.
