In the second week of the project, I expanded my exploration and research on London’s animals and plants affected by global warming, such as peach blossoms, tulips, camellias, roses, bluebells, butterflies, and swans. Through continuous iterations and design experiments, I selected and applied a color palette that complemented the unique features and symbolic meanings of each element, making the graphics not only visually attractive but also emotionally resonant with people. Finally, I created a series of beautiful spring posters with all the elements to promote the importance of these animals and plants.
However, upon receiving feedback and reflecting on my work during the third week, I realized that my design work lacked attention to the ecological issues that these flora and fauna face due to global warming. In my research, I drew great inspiration from the abundant creative spirit and daily practice habits exhibited by David Hockney and Yui Takada. Therefore, I need to reassess my research methodology, conduct extensive readings on relevant literature, and explore and critically think about these issues more deeply and interestingly to achieve effective communication.
