Migration
There is two main types of migratory movements namely emigration and immigration they sound similar but mean different things so, below I have described them a bit more.
Emigration : the act of leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another country. Therefore as for instance a family could have being facing economical difficulties on their home country so they decide to move to the neighbour country in order to have a better life.
Immigration : the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. Consequently as for instance half of a family lives in a country and so the other half basically are coming to immigrate permanently to their new home.

The Syrian War & Bashar Al-Assad
- The Syrian war is an ongoing conflict between President Bashar Al-Assad and Syrian Rebel mainly. This conflict have been ongoing since 15 of March 2011 (5 years ago) from 2016. If the war keeps at this rhythm the war will reach millions death very soon.
- The USA and allies are supporting the rebels and their cause of making President Assad give up his place, in the other hand Russia is supporting president Assad because they think the solution passes through Assad. Therefore there will be tensions between Russia and the USA which could lead to diret conflicts between Russia and the USA9
Refugees Crisis
|
The Syrian war has already created literally millions of refugees, which are spreading across the middle east and they are heading to Europe in hope of a better and prosperous life. Very little is being done in order to help refugees because foreign governments do not know how to deal with the humanitarian crisis. So far some foreign governments decided to built refugees camps where they can stay temporarely till they find a better solutions. The European Union made a deal with Turkey in the following conditions, so Turkey would receive most of the refugees and put them in camps in order to register them and after that they could go to the country that would accept their asylum requests.

Making of my Book Cover
In front of my sketchbook I have carved a image of a bird. During my lesson I had the great idea of carving a bird in the cover of my sketchbook, I chose a bird because birds migrate from city to city they even migrate to other continents. Therefore the first thing I done was to use a pencil to draw the bird and after I used I knife to scratch and also carve the bird.
While making the scratchin and carving I realised that the bird was coming out very dark. Consequently I decided to peel some areas to make the bird more outstanding. That was the best idea I had because the bird came out very beautiful. Then after I finished with the bird I saw that there was a lot of empty space so I have decided to include the title of my main theme. Therefore I have done the same thing I peeled the letters to form the word migration but I had some difficulties because some of the spaces i was peeling were very thin so I done some mistakes by cuting some areas that weren't menat to cut so I corrected them with a felting pen. Overall the experiment came out amazingly and I could improve the writing a bit. |
Pattern Experiments
Above I have got my patterns experiments which I did with photoshop. First I scanned my book cover in which I got my carving bird in it and then I have imported the image to photoshop in order to edit it.

Design Context
In one of my independet work I have done the above experiments which are my plan for my final piece in which I have put it in context.

My Final Project
For my final project I will be doing several experiments with designs concepts in order to make my two posters. My posters will show different realities, one of despair and another one of hope. I will print my posters in A3 size or probably bigger if possible in order to achieve my goal.
