With this design I’ve taken one of Russell Brand’s quotes from the Newsnight interview. The quote would be printed onto paper/card, then the black blocks on acetate. Then, when the acetate is placed over the card it blocks out some of the words he said to make a completely new statement.
The initial idea came from how the media constantly change what people say and how they take words out of context.
I then looked into ‘redaction’, this is mostly used on classified documents but it is where certain bits of information are blocked out with black marker. This deign uses black rectangles to replicate the marker used and gives the same effect,.
I could also do the opposite to this idea by instead of having sections of blocked out text, have the whole page blocked out with windows showing certain words.
The idea where the doodles lie over the Russell Brand illustration/picture comes from the thought process that the media made his comments out to be worse than they really were. I feel that people don;t really know what Brand is trying to say or do, but just presume he’s wrong due to the constant bad press about him.
The look of the idea came from when people doodle over newspaper pictures often of people they don’t particularly like.
This poster would be best as the image only poster as I don't think any text would be needed and don;t think it would add any more explanation. The overall message behind this poster is quite clear in my opinion; the media made Russell Brand out to be evil (the Devil) for saying what he thought about 9/11, but when you look into it it wasn't that bad. This is why I think acetate would be best for this as it lets the viewer physically ‘uncover’ the truth.
