" puberty blues "
stage 1
This task was very different, more challenging and yet so
exciting. The audience was young
teenagers. I had to explain how to cope
with changes in their bodies, with the title “What’s happening to my body? It’s all going mad!”
My target audience for this exercise was for teenage girls,
as I know what it means to go through those changes and how the changes in your
body change your perceptions of yourself.
I decided to go for the obvious pink colour for girls. The cartoon strip shows five stages of
changes as a girl develops. The style
and content of the illustration was deliberately striking but simple. At first, possibly the young girls might
giggle with embarrassment at the illustrations.
However, I did not want to patronise the young women, and I hope that
the warm glow of the right hand side of the strip can reassure them in their
journey into womanhood.
