The cult movie, "THEY LIVE", was a heavy inspiration for this mood board and has been a good source to look at whilst exploring censorship and freedom of speech. The general concept of this drawing, and the film, is that advertising, TV, radio and magazines are just a front/cover, really being government messages that are brainwashing the general public. It is relevant to censorship because it is saying that the true intentions/meanings behind products, advertising and many other aspects of everyday life could be hidden or censored from us; borrowing aspects from theories of "big brother"and government scheming heavily. I recognize that it is quite extreme and cartoonish, but it is meant to be surreal and blunt in its message and context. I feel I have achieved this as the text is very bold and aggressive, and also intriguing at first glance. The media I have used (pencil HB 4B) help establish a simplistic yet detailed depiction of city streets and make the lettering stand out well. I think that it could do with more colour to help it from looking dull and some of the perspectives are off slightly. Also the lettering isn't as neat as it could have been, but overall it is a relevant piece of work leading up to my final piece.
