This is another idea/ concept that I have started to work on. I have thought about ways in which I could modernise an iconic speech from history and instead of modernising the speech itself I decided to modernise the way it looks visually presented to an audience. This is why I chose to use three colours; using blue to reflect the emotions that the speaker is feeling.
I searched on the internet for iconic speeches and amongst the list of names and speeches I came across Martin Luther King, I decided to experiment with his speech as it is one that I have grown up knowing about and take deep interest in. So as said above I decided to experiment with the visual but I also decided I would modernise what the speech is saying as times have moved on from when he wrote the speech. I decided to write about equality between genders but still trying to use his style of writing. However, I found this extremely difficult to do and I only managed to create a short paragraph.
The next stage of development looked at speeches in the past compared to speeches of today. I was trying to say that speeches of the past were more powerful compared to speeches from people such as Kanye West who wants to run for president. I wanted to have some humour around this topic as I find it laughable that he wants to run for president when he’s not really a role model with what language he uses in his music and the way he carries himself. The poster’s on the next page could be a way of degrading his run for presidency by an opposing candidate.
