Arms around the child- Evaluation

 My final outcome has been strongly influenced by the artist James Victore. In my GIF I have used a very similar idea of using fitted text within a powerful shape in my case a gun. I have also used limited colour within my design I have changed the hierarchy of imformation as the bright colours on the black and white background star the main information for example the red is representative of death and the orange is of saviour that is seen the charity itself. These are the key ideas that are going to be the main theme for my animation. Overall, I have chose to style my animation similar to James Victore because of the impact that you receive from his work this is why he has been my main inspiration.

I think my final banner has completed the given brief in the respect that it displays the animation in a powerful and creative way. The banner can also help the charity as it features the text donate line, this is what matters in the end as it is completing it job as neccisary. If I was to improve anything about my final outcome I would change the length of my animation by making it longer I could add further statistics making the animation detailed. I would also have changed the size of certain feature such as the gun just to take the impact further. My final income has been completed to what I believe is my best standard.

I think that my animation carries the ethical theme of the brief by making a loud statement about a series ethical situation, By adding the powerful words of ‘save this innocent blood’ I also pull in the shock methods that other ethical artists use. Other artists also use the realistic element such as the blood spatter featured in my GIF this has been added just further the points that I have made. This allows the reality of the situation to dawn on people hopefully provoking an emotional response. I think that my animation does create this response hopefully filling the need for it to be ethically connected. The work follows many of the same themes as other ethical pieces such a bold statements in text and the bold image. This I think will provoke an emotional response.


Overall, I think that my animation fits its brief and carries a emotional and powerful messages about gun crime whilst informing you of the charities work. If I was to approach this brief and task differently I would consider carrying out in depth primary and secondary research about the charity so that I understand the ethical theme fully. I would also change the route that I took to create my final outcome instead I would have completed research elements before completing my animation and poster so that I would have fully understood the theme. The design itself could be improved so it details further facts and carries on for a longer time span. Overall I think my animation was fitting for the job that it was created for and fits the given brief whilst maintain the same features as other ethical artists and posters.
