Mega Graphics


2023


A UWE (University of the West of England) group day project; focused on creating a mega-sized graphic addressing a shared contemporary issue. 


After some quick brainstorming, we landed on student finance—the stress and limitations students face when financial support runs dry. Wanting to tackle this with humour rather than pity, we created ‘Super Broke’, a hero for the financially struggling student. His cape—a ripped-up bedsheet—became the centrepiece of the project. We painted “SUPER BROKE” in red on the back and added to the character with a Halloween mask, taking photos in everyday situations like staring at beer prices or sulking over a pint. The tone was light, but the message clear. While more varied shots could’ve pushed the concept further, the outcome captured the frustration many feel today—especially students. Feedback was positive, and the simplicity of the visual metaphor helped communicate the point effectively.
