6. UN Sustainable Development Goals
Consider the UN SDGs when adding meaning and context to your work!
e.g. Unit 1- Typographic Portrait to be used as a Book / Album Cover…
I will create a cover design for a dystopian novel that describes a future after all natural energy sources have been consumed. I will use a typographic portrait of a child as this will appear more harrowing and emotionally gripping. The text I will use for the portrait will be taken from current news stories, as though this terrible future was predicted.
(Goal 12- Responsible Consumption and Production)
