I’m going to do a “How-to” guide in the form of a “Landfills for Dummies”. I think its a way to poke fun at a serious and pressing topics – overconsumption, waste, ecology, environmental impact – which still providing some of the facts about landfills and how they are constructed.
If I tried a different form, I would probably do something similar to an infomercial advertising landfills. I could go a lot of different ways with it like a satirical sales infomercial marketing the landfill or I could do a serious PSA style announcement.
I think the “How-to” is well-suited because there is a step-by-step to making a landfill and so using that as a foundation makes sense.
The form is very clear – your initial mock-up makes clear that you have analyzed all the visual language of the very recognizable form (for many cultures). I look forward to seeing you develop this.
One thing to consider in highlighting consumption is the “pre-landfill” steps.
