My first sets of ideas were full of the expected cliches! Big boots, shadows etc.
I was also wary of how one sided the argument for these might appear to be.
This was an idea for a comic showing the two causes of rioting I'd been thinking about in my research- consumerism and social injustice. I think it works interestingly as a means of narrative- the way the comic is put together - but after drawing it I wondered why I considered the two causes to be mutually exclusive! I suppose I could rework the comic to combine them, but it would probably lose this interesting dynamic of two way narrative.
This is another idea I'd like to bring forward in the presentation. I had been drawing crowd scenes lazily as big clumps of people but I wondered if I could use that itself as a visual device. The lumping together is a visual metaphor of the way the media lumps all protesters and rioters together regardless of intent, and making them into a monster. The crowding together represents the lack of individuals in the process of the riot, and the anonymity of the basic faces - though this is something I am considering.
