For our final project we each were given four or five words or phrases to pick from which we would then research and create some kind of outcome from. I decided upon the phrase 'Nanny State' which I found very interesting. I looked at political satire which is currently enjoying something of a revival with the recent Schweppes campaign. I drew a Gordon Brown character dressed as Mary Poppins (as shown in previous sketches) and came up with an overblown parody of a recent campaign to reflect the nannying behaviour of my Gordon Poppins character. I decided to lampoon the recent swine flu campaign but change it to swan flu so I could bring in more humorous elements. Here are a couple of photos of what I had at the end of the four week project. I hope to work more on this project for inclusion in my portfolio.
