BMA243 Digital Illustration, jigsaw and cards ideas, 14 October

 Jigsaw idea:  playing with a trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) effect,  hands with put together a jigsaw puzzle of hands putting together  a jigsaw puzzle of hands putting together a jigsaw puzzle.  Except, I think I heard that we just have to take an image that we've already made and put it into the correct file size.   Is that right?


Playing cards idea:  Migrant Live and Dead card suit. We play games with migrants lives all the time, why not a card game?  Why pretend that the truth is "more complicated" than that?  Live will hold something a migrant wants, like a loaf of bread, and Dead will hold what they get, a bomb from "supporting nations" missile strikes that are meant to prop up the failing regime that is persecuting them.  Or an umbrella v. a gun firing rounds into the sky.  Or fresh food and rotting/no food.  I would like the Live head to be based on a world leader who is involved in the crisis.  The front side of the card will be maps of Europe, Africa and the Middle East covered in migrant routes.
