Great to see some action. I am suggesting you focus on 3 boards for Friday when hopefully we will meet up. They are:
1. Course one: Fish etc. James to do. Note: The mackerel are not fished with a net in this case. They are caught on a hook, one of many on a long line. The situation here is positive as the fisherman is not catching more than he needs or fish he doesn't want and it is as local as possible. So we should feel good about it. So make it ‘nice’. The contrast with other methods of distant procurement will be in the written/number area. I.e. Mackerel from Tescos travel from N. East Scotland and consume ? units of carbon on the way.
You could separate your board into positive approach versus negative showing both stories but there might be a space problem. Generally you should make images big cos they will be mostly viewed from slight distance. One approach might be to make a border of imagery and coral the information yet to come in the centre.
Map or journey (car, van with fish logo?) from penzance. Story: free fish with many friends in Mounts Bay Penzance > hook and line > small boat > fish boxes/crates with text on side > van > route to Plymouth all linked ala cartoon or by arrows or other linear storyline method.
2. People and travel. James and/or group. You should keep this simple as it needs a form or checklist that should be clearly readable on the night. So: a world of travel perhaps framing an area or individual travel modes with space for quantifying next to them. So you may have a bike with an area next to it clearly showing the ticks as they are added for those who arrived by bike. An illustrated list even.
3. The Apple drinks. No man squeezing apples I don't think. But I liked the tree and prominence of text. Also juicey droplets don't really make sense flying off the trees. But have a go with this one. Apples themselves are rather beautiful! There is a beautiful process here.
I am frantically trying to find out how to fix chalk as well as looking into the kind of chalks blackboard menu people use ( a closely guarded secret). I think we might have to design first then apply to the boards in non-removable wax crayons. Also colour may still be a possibility.
More about carbon details soon.
