Discarded

I've been having trouble with the recent project. Based on an issue we found in the times magazine, mine being the issue of public transport and how public transport is better for the environment but the prices are far dearer than cars or less environmentally friendly vehicles. So how can i communicate this? in the form of three visual posters 2:1 format at a3 scale?
because i use transport every day i thought that i could approach this project with ease but i have found it really difficult to get to grips with the issues i am trying to raise.
The first part of the project was based on producing 3 dramatic visual images based on our ideas and issues. mine sucked basically. they were incomplete and i hadn't stuck to the project brief at all. i ended up using colours that i wasn't even supposed to. i'm going to re-look at this project again. i think it will help me with the next part.
The next part being a mail shot. i thought this would be really exciting. to actually send something that i had made, but like the posters i had produced i had my crit on friday and i had almost nothing to show for it. my main influence or what i was looking at, was pop-ups, the idea that the piece could be more than just a throw away item i think could grab attention more than a message written on a piece of paper and put in an envelope itsa something that could be kept and looked at again and again. Amber provided this link to a you-tube video about a pop-up book that looks at the alphabet. i think it is amazing and so much more than a throw away item.
