Preliminary Sketches for Creative Conscience Awards 2017

My project will be an art piece that would fit within the guidelines of the Creative Conscience Awards 2017.  Here's how the competition is described on the Graphics Competitions website here:

Deadline:  April 20, 2017
The Creative Conscience Awards is a platform for innovative ideas that encompass world changing creativity. Creative Conscience's aim is to inspire designers to apply their talents to socially valuable projects, promoting sustainability, freedom, social health and well-being.
The competition is open to all students of creativity across the globe (or those that have graduated in the past 24 months), whose conscience has encouraged them to build a passion for a certain cause and presents a fantastic opportunity for them to utilise their creative talent to make a positive change in the world.
Applicants are required to submit work under one of the following seven discipline areas:
• Advertising
• Architecture, engineering & interior design
• Fashion & textiles
• Film & photography
• Graphics
• Illustration & animation
• Product & structural design

I plan on basing my design around the following quote from Fred Rogers:

 “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

The concept of my project will communicate the importance of community, and helping others, even if it's just be doing something little like listening to someone who needs a sympathetic ear.  We, as humans, are all in this together, and we can help make life easier for others just by being kind.  There really is no age limit for my target audience, as you can never be too old or too young to start being considerate and compassionate.  I feel like it would resonate with anyone, from anywhere, of any age.  Here is the direct link to the competition's website: click here.
