Hey everyone, I was not sure what to tackle with the “world changing” project. Rather than dive right into a topic, I decided to look at some of my artwork from other studios to see if I could get inspired. I actually found a piece that I am working on right now in Lithography that spurred thoughts about an animal rescue website. The image is of a bulldog with a slight sadness on his face. I think that a website about animal rescue or animal adoption would be world changing because of the effect animals have on people. When animals become pets, they become members of a family – possibly your family. The companionship is what I think is world changing. Maybe not world changing in a big respect, but something that changes your world. Anyways, after researching some animal rescue adoption websites, I found that many of them use bad colors and typography – they kind of look thrown together. I have not started sketching out any plans yet, but I would love to hear your suggestions! Thanks,Sara
Thanks for your comment! As for your idea, I think the subject matter is great. When it comes down things that can change the world, I feel like animals are often overlooked. I like that you mentioned the companionship aspect; there is a reason why animals are brought into hospitals, nursing homes, and etc. for visits. I also thought it was good to discuss this as change that is small, but greatly impacting upon one person’s world. Small changes can add up into a big change, too. As for your website, I think you have a lot of opportunity with using your artwork (that cutie pie bulldog) and presenting animal adoption in a new light. I agree that a lot of the animal rescue sights could use some redesigning, and I have also noticed that they often look the same. Maybe trying a whole new approach could work. Additionally, maybe you be more specific and discuss the companionship pros of adopting an animal; maybe present a message.
