While I was doing some artist research I came across Slinkachu on instagram. I studied his work in secondary school. A lot of is work is based on miniatures, so I came up with this idea of drawing vintage swimmers diving into a tin of Baked Beans.

I was struggling with deciding how I wanted to present my information. Initially, I wanted to make a poster then I started thinking about the target audience. An issue I had with my education especially in primary school was the fact we learnt about the British Empire, but only the "good" bits. In order to change that I wanted to make something aimed at primary school kids but more importantly, I wanted to make something I wish I had growing up. In British culture, it is known that we drink tea and eat fish and chips, but what is always forgotten is the fact these things only came about because of immigrants. Instead of a poster, I decided to make a set of educational fact snap cards. I'm hoping with this game it will shine a positive light on the good impactful effect immigrants have had to the British culture, so much so, these things are a staple in our culture. In the light of Brexit, I want to make something poignant that celebrated immigration in Britain.
