Rationale - 

My initial idea was to explore the inequality in education for immigrants but found out later that that wasn’t the case, and only then did I start really looking into equality in New Zealand. I ended up changing and deciding to explore the wealth gap between the rich and the poor in New Zealand and how the economy is giving to those already at the top. 

My final posters both reference the ‘top’ and have symbolism relating to the wealth gap for New Zealand. The phrase “Poor get Poorer” was used to get the point across that there is a gap between the rich and poor in New Zealand. In terms of Ihi and Wehi, my posters use simple lines and bright colours to create a more light hearted approach to a topic that has a darker and deeper meaning, so hopefully this will contrast and inform the viewers of the more serious issues of inequality. 

My final two posters contrast each other stylistically. One uses simple and clean lines and the use of scale to get the point across while the second is minimalistic shapes and uses contrast.
