Cause for Concern- Russia invading Ukraine

Cause for concern - Russia and Crimea takeover.

Russia Crimea takeover is my cause for concern because this is not the first time Russia has attempted this and conflict between two countries are usually very heated topics of discussion.


The image above shows some makeshift fortifications/barricades, outside the international administration office which was seized by Pro-russian militants in Ukraine.





Image on the left shows tight security as the simple victims try to get around under normal circumstances with soldiers watching their every move, freedom isn't present in Crimea as it was before.













Image on the right portrays the destruction caused in protests and military acts in Crimea, as that is almost frequent in Russia and Ukraine, it is very likely to be just as relentless.








Image below displays Pro-Russian activists holding the Russian flags during a rally in the city centre of Donetsk on March 1st 2014. Just one of many protests to come in the future of Russia and Crimea.



Banksy Research

Banksy is a pseudonymous United Kingdom-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter.



His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.





Banksy's work was made up of the Bristol underground art which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. According to author and graphic designer Tristan Manco and the book Home Sweet Home, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher, but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s." Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris. Banksy says, however, that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of Massive Attack

(above) - These were three of my ideas for my final mock up, including the topics of drink and drive, and Alcohol Abuse. Idea 1 and 3 are drink and drive, Idea 2 is Alcohol Abuse




(right) - This is my final mock up, I had chosen Idea 2 as it was more effective than the others because it makes a statement that alcohol does more damage than any handheld object, and the shock of which hits you twice as hard.
