After scraping my previous poster draft, I went way back to my initial idea of women in the workplace and did some research into it. I found some readings that spoke of the good side of women in the labor force. "From 1963 to 2012, women's labor force participation goes from 38% to 58% of females 16 and over." So I chose to do the positive side of women's participation in the workforce instead of the negative side which I had previously chosen.
I talked to on of my tutors about this and we looked at different styles that I could parody to produce ideas that could take me out of the narrowness of my previous idea. One that we came up with was the 19th century scrapbook and another was having many drawn women on the poster.
The scrapbook idea would work with my idea if I incorporated tools that many women use daily throughout their jobs such as medical tools, pens and paper, cooking tools, etc. These would be on the outside of the central message and heading.
The women on the second poster would be doing all different jobs, wearing different clothes that was related to what they did. I was thinking about using my character of the women for this idea. The message would either be down the bottom or at the top.
