Mega Graphics


This project was a fun one.

In groups of 4, we had to create a 'mega graphic' relating to the word *urgent*.


To start this off we had to write down words that came to our head when we heard the word ‘urgent’.

When we had finished, in our groups we went around and picked a word we wanted to base our messsage on.

In the end, we decided we wanted to base our piece on money. This was well fitting for us because this is something we already had a strong opinion about anyway as we are students who are going to end up in a lifetime of dept.


I had bought in a double bed sheet, we thought that this would be perfect to use as a foundation for a 'mega' poster.


We made our mega graphic piece resemble a reciept, listing the main things we are paying for per year, with the grand total being about £17,742 per year written in red to make it signify urgency.



Here are the photos we took when we went to display our piece in relevent places.


The first picture was taken right outside of the university, this is clearly relevent as thre amount of students would relate to it massively.


The second photo is our mega graphic draped over a bridge on Park Street. We chose this location as cars passing under would see our poster. This location is the only one where we had someone have an opinion about what we were trying to get across, she said “I totally agree! It’s not fair that student will have a lifetime of dept just so they can have a career!” Which was actually really helpful, getting a response that corresponds with the message we are giving gave us a bit of confidence in our choice.


The last photo is of students gathering around our poster and reading it. We thought it would be nice to show engagement, especially with students.


What do I think?

In terms of answering the brief, i think that we did a good job, we managed to show urgency through brainstorming ideas and finally coming up with an idea that we were very passionare about and relate to very much.


A relatable subject such as this one is great to focus on, especially because we could go out and showcase out piece, meaning that a lot of people were able to see it and most likely relate to it.
