Responsive Group Work// The deadline is coming

My team and I didn't start engaging with out idea for the contest till extremely close to the deadline. We'd planned to meet up as a team of three but never physically carried the idea further then facebook messenger.

Me and Emily met up last week to discuss our battle plan for this contest.
We'd already outlined our rough idea which had been approached carefully with a few false starts. Emily came up with the idea to make posters that were animated gifs online and could be used on social media as either (or both). Our group loved this idea and we began to developed it. I focused on researching what the organisation targets and Emily researched the ways the organisation approaches their targets.

I made an image boards of the current 'issues' the group is targeting (which is pictured below);
The images shown are depict a variety of issues including human rights and social rights. But I thought these images were very graphic and considering this contest is about connecting with young people and encouraging them to joint the organisation rather then shocking them with issues; I thought it would be best to focus on the positive actions the organisation does to help support/help such movements as pictured above.  I pitched to Emily that we should focus on the ways young people can help within the organisation, such as handing out educational flyers that raise awareness or raising money. We wanted a positive approach to the people that support the organisation and in turn support the issues.

A few days ago myself and Emily met up within the university to discuss our approach to this in person. She'd researched into the ways backers could support the organisation or get involved themselves and using that information we sketched up 4 basic ideas. These ideas depict young people supporting the organisation by taking back in joining groups, attending meet ups, signing up and education. Emily is currently working on producing these ideas into physical illustrations which I will later put into photoshop and animate simplistically into a Gif format.
