Initial research

For my initial research, I used the small book handed to us in our lecture. I found this really useful as it helped set my mind onto what exactly I needed to look into, and helped give me inspiration for what to look into. 

I began with looking into animal extinction as a whole, looking for the causes and effects, and specific statistics that would help put the reality of the issue into place. 

I also began thinking about my proposition and audience with the knowledge I have gained. At the moment I would like to focus on the causes of Tiger extinction, specifically poaching. I feel my target audience will be adults, as I would like to use my art style to create darker imagery, and so it will not be suitable for younger audiences.

I also looked into key words that would help me define my proposition idea, the main three being extinction, poaching and greed. With this, I took greed and poaching forward to draw some sketches that I think of when considering these words. Greed I had alot more to draw for, considering materialistic, powerful imagery. Poaching I found difficult as I had never considered how I could draw imagery for poaching. I considered an endangered animal, an elephant without its tuck and a hunter's simple silhouette. I would like to through this more in the future and potentially add to it if I have the chance.
