RESEARCH:
INTRO
Refugees have the fundamental right to live, to survive and to learn. However, most of the refugee children face immense challenges in getting access to education. In Malaysia, refugee children are denied access to the formal education system thus they obtain education via an informal educational system.
PARAGRAPH 1
Based on the info, within 150,379 people of concern, 23,823 that are of school-going ages but only 30% are enrolled in community learning centres. As such, refugee communities run their community-based learning centres without sustainable funds. Employing permanent teachers is challenging and many of these centres depended on public donations to deal with rental and utility costs.
PARAGRAPH 2
Getting education would help refugee children feel a sense of normality and assist them in integrating with society. Incorporate with Sustainable Development Goal 4 which is quality education. We should empower refugees through education. Despite the enormous challenges posed by the pandemic, with greater support to refugees we can expand innovative ways to protect them in accessing education.

SUMMARY
Education is a necessary step in every child’s development. This topic aims to spread awareness public by giving refugee children a chance to access education. Refugee parents often hope their children to be educated to live a better life. Therefore, it is important for public to support the physical infrastructure or needs of the community centres. Together, we can realise refugees dream and create a better future for them.
Title: Survive to learn

Both of the design seems to be more towards sad emotions. Then I decided to work on my third sketch and shorten the title to 'Survive to Learn'. This idea includes refugees silhouette climbing to fight for survival and their desire to learn. Besides, I have an idea of putting the slogan as the text in the book itself.

PART 3//Developing design project:
Due to the pandemic, it is hard for us to take photos of refugees kids. So we can only utilize online resources to get the photography which fits my poster ideas. I searched for refugees kids with desire in their eyes, sadness emotion, drawing audience attention.Figure 1.2 Refugee photography from Pinterest, 10th May 2021
Figure 1.3 Idea sketches of refugee poster, 10th May 2021
After sketching some ideas, I realized there is lacking some visual elements to represent 'Education'. The idea popped out where I can take my own photographs of a book. I managed to find a slightly thick book and place it on my coffee table. With the glass texture, it creates a cool reflection of the book with I captured it with a low angle.

Combining the photo I took an image from Pinterest, this composition aims to convey the message of a survivor of a refugee kid, peeking the outside world. She hoping to live a better life, to see the world by having the chance to learn. Besides, I added a window at the book to create a sense of light in the poster.

The setting of the background layer are simply an open book and wire mesh at the darker area. This is to represent the restriction and problems encounter by the refugees. The stairs symbolize a bridge connected to other world full of knowledge, and this is the only way to change their future.

Title: Survive To Learn
Description: Refugees have the fundamental right to live, to survive and to learn. However, most of the refugee children face immense challenges in getting access to education. This poster design aims to reflect the situations of refugee children and portray their desire to learn, to change their lives. A girl is gazing out the window, trying to understand the world and wondering what will happen in the future. Like a normal child, she is full of curiosity and wishes to explore this wonderful world with knowledge. She knows that only education would change her life and helps her family to live better. Maybe someday, she could be a beautiful butterfly, flying freely and joyfully. The monochrome effects act as the contrast of the poster, reflecting the heartbroken memories that the refugee children went through. Hence, the public needs to support the rights of refugees by providing a safer place for them and a chance to learn. Together, we can help them to create a brighter future.
