Group discussion

I was grouped with Maha and Ameera Makki to discuss our ideas and help each other suggest more ways to illustrate our problems. Ameera suggested that I should include people im my pictures to make the problem look more realistic. Also, since graffiti is the way of communication in the animal market, instead I should figure out a way to have a fixed list of prices for all the animals, rather than having the workers suggest a price every time. Locals might know what the price is for a certain animal, but when westerners come, they could be tricked into false prices.

I suggested that Ameera should include a taller person under the tents in the fruit market, to show that they are too low. (Alanood Alattiya, Ameera Makki, maha)

I first came up with the things that most describe the animal market

-Animals in cages

-Color+texture of their fur.

-Smells

-Graffiti on walls

I then tried to incorporate al these into my poster

This is what I got when I first grouped the different animals

I then added all the other aspects to it.

However, I was advised to remove the textural layer I had on top, as it didn't portray the actual textures of the place.

I also decided to focus more on the graffiti on the walls, as I found out it was one way of communication for the people that work there.
