Brand said he found the links between the Bin Laden family and the Bush family very interesting, after I looked into these links I wanted some way of showing that they have been linked together through one way or another in the past (before 9/11). To do this I created the shown image on Adobe Illustrator, I took inspiration from playing cards and poster designs that can be flipped to show something else. The message behind it is that there are links but also that they are opposites when it comes down to it.
This image has a background that is meant to represent the American Flag. Within the flag I have coloured two of the stripes to make the twin towers. This message is about how the US government could have been linked and intertwined with the plots and it was an inside job. The smoke that is coming from one of the towers is covering up where the blue would usually be on the flag which then makes the colours red, white and black; black being the colour of death and grief. I do like this idea I’m just not sure how it easily it communicate the message I was trying to get across. It’s obvious it’s about 9/11 but is it obvious that it represents the government being part of the attacks?
This idea to the right looks good visually, but I think it may be seen as offensive. This was not my intention at all , the idea behind it is that a lot of blood was shed that day and many people suffered due to the attacks. Between the dripping blood the twin towers can be seen , this is quite clear as to what it is primarily about and grabs the viewer’s attention straight away. This would d have been image only.
This is just a quick idea that a poster could develop from. It is just a dynamic view of the towers which I think is pretty interesting. I also think this would work well for the text and image poster as text could go behind the illustration of the towers.
