Revised Design Statement

By using a sense of imminent threat I want to push the opinion that countries rely too heavily on the stability of global trading partners (especially for essential items like food), that we are very short-sighted when it comes to our economies, and this will all end up being a catastrophic problem.

Incorporating cultural images/icons and colours to represent different countries, I want to paint this threatening portrait of economic reliance and an eventual "implosion" (without being racist or too political). To appeal most effectively to my audience, I will probably use Australia as an example.

I believe very strongly in this issue because I feel it isn't being discussed enough and it's something we have the opportunity to address and deal with now, before it's too late.
