Meeting the representatives of a company I understood a couple of facts about the company and some aspects they wish to be involved in to designed image. 

- Friendly (They want to create friendly welcoming environment for guest of the three day long conference, which as any other conference is kind of boring.)

- Diverse (They want and accent to be put on diversity of people involved in to learning and members of conference and involved society in total)

- Ecology (They support recycling and greener world movement)

- Global (They mentioned that people from whole commonwealth maybe even more appear at conference so they are king of global)

As I understood we need to capture every lecture and write something about it so here are my notes and first ideas that came to the mind.

Talking about diversity first that comes to my my mind are people from different backgrounds, social classes, religions, ethnicity so color etc but thanks to Leigh who indirectly explained why nowadays this kind of images are used seldom and how to avoid being criticized for discrimination or something like that. I tried to draw doodle character diverse version but later one I understood that its actually to detailed and can perfectly fit in to criticized category so in the world of Art where simplicity is the key I thought of different type of diversity. We all are made of meat shit and bones everything else are just details so key of my vision of diversity in this project will be common things not different, we all are people and that's the key.

A bit of nostalgy or a grandma of modern diversity. In every soviet schoolbook you was able to find similar images  with slogan - friendship of the nations and drawings of children from worldwide holding hands. As a child I used to like to explore these illustrations and compare traditional outfits of different nations, how similar or completely different it was.

And here comes example of modern type of diversity illustration which honestly saying irritates me. I understand the point of non insultive way but hell, where did you see green/blue/purple skinned person?! I saw different people from pale skinned with blonde hair to very tanned and black haired so here is my spit on to design of crocodile faced student, if I will meet one in a real life I will definitely apologize for my words. Also I would like to highlight the simplicity of the design. Analysing brand logo development during HNC in Art and Design course I took last year, I noticed that design from complicated highly detailed medieval blazons it turned in highly contrasted primitive lines and shapes. Funny but someone who created this image below agrees with me.
