BRIEF:
The Great Debate. Visualization of a debate. You are free to choose which debate you want, as long as it has clear opposing sides of the debate. The format of the debate is free, but must be assessed against the target audience, and how appropriate it is in relation to the debate.
This task was flexible enough to allow us to develop the task to create more interesting projects, where we could expressed ourselves in a desired manner.

The topic I wanted to tackle was women in comics, focusing on superheroes. The format of the debate would be a comic. This would be a small insert that would be attached to the rear of single-issue comics, which you can buy at comic book shops. In this way, fans of comic books get to see the debate and reflect on what they think about the issue.
The concept is to provide the reader with information on the subject, so he or she could decide which side of the debate they are on. Do we need more female creators in comic books or is it not a real problem? Comic books are only cartoons, so does it really matter if there are few female characters and artists? Have cartoons affects us and how we think about women in the real world?
