I decided to illustrate a story about a former family dog that was once adopted from a shelter as a Christmas present and now abandoned and left to his own fate. By choosing this theme and illustrating this story, I wanted to raise awareness of irresponsible dog adoptions, dog abandonment and animal cruelty.

I focused on rhino poaching. While researching I found out that most of the poaching happens in South Africa so I based my zine on this location. The reason why I created a zine is that I wanted to make people aware of how serious this problem is but in an engaging way; creating a zine allowed me to fulfil the project brief as it is is a clear way to convey a story or information within a series of images. While researching zines a graphic designer David Carson influenced my work, I tried to experiment with his style with experimenting with the type. I did this by using the warping and distortion tool on Procreate. This gave an effect where some of the text cannot be as easily read, but that’s what I found fascinating in Carson’s work, you cannot read his work clearly but you know what he’s trying to portray.

I started by looking at animals and emotion, focusing on how they emote through facial expressions and body language. I then translated these themes onto foxes as they had become a common through line within my sketchbook. I then shifted my focus onto experimenting with the idea of overlaying multiple images to explore how we perceive animals emotions; this then lead onto the idea of duality within animals and how foxes are perceived (cute, docile, mischievous etc.) verses how they genuinely behave (violent, akin to a vermin etc.). My final solution demonstrates the idea that foxes are more than their stereotypes that are depicted within tv, film and social media.

A twisted tale stemming from the princess and the frog.
