Don't Panic - Resistance

CREATE AN IMAGE FOR DON’T PANIC THAT CAPTURES THE THEME OF RESISTANCE

Brief:

Create an image for Don’t Panic that captures the theme of Resistance.

Creative Challenge:

Resistance is about going against the grain. Going left when everyone is going right. Resistance is radical for the short term, and revolutionary in the long.

We’d like you to capture on paper resistance to the politics (with a small ‘p’) of existence. From a personal level (interacting with you peers, neighbours and work colleagues) – to globally, countries, sexes & religions.

Consider sub-aspects of resistance – protection and armour (both physical and mental) aspects of survival, hardiness & determination. Try and think the opposite of your standard practice, work with new methods - push out of your comfort zone.

Target audience:

Socially active, creative young people

Mandatory Requirements:

Produce one or more images suitable for A2 reproduction
