Visual Journal

My visual journal got off to a relatively slow start due to struggling where to start. I have decided that the best approach will be to find related articles to my subject and produce visual responses for them in a kind of editorial format. 



The end to the free vasectomy (to help save the NHS money) would contradict itself in the way that there would be more unwanted pregnancies as a result, which will defeat the object in terms of cost. 




This article emphasises the threat that obesity imposes on women's health, and the increased risk that certain conditions could arise such as type two diabetes, heart disease and cancer. In these simple drawings and paintings I have shown daily processes that women will have to go through if their health deteriorates, including having to take daily medication, going for checkups on a regular basis and simultaneously being judged by others. The measuring tape acts as a metaphor for strangling the internal organs due to pressure of being overweight.

Reflection

Although basic, I feel like this is a good starting point to begin to explore imagery in synthesis to my topic. Editorial process help to visually unpick and bring together important aspects of a topic and summarise them in a visual way. I will continue to read the news daily and keep myself updated on the state of healthcare and obesity.
