outline the subject of your practical proposal: 'how are negative perceptions of homelessness created in society? 
my subject of my practical work is to challenge peoples perception of the reason why people are homeless by focusing on a individuals (or a few individuals) story and illustrating their journey gradually throughout the 8-12 images.

explain how you will construct the image (including description of media materials, process.) will they work as a set, series or sequence? will the need text? how many images will you produce?
the first image will be a illustration of the person - detailed face but empty shell of a body, giving them no personality or life story, highlighting how people often over-look the homeless, judge them as 'one' instead of a individual, with an individual story. throughout the 8-12 images i will then visually communicate parts of their life, ending with a final image where he's body is filled with illustrations that communicate he's journey.
thought visually development i will play around with using line quality for the portait of their face as i feel this will capture the detail of their appearance, as this is the only thing people can physically see, also as i plan to illustrate parts of he's life with objects and scenes inside he's t-shirt in pen, i feel by drawing the face in pen also, the 2 parts of the image will connect better as a whole.
i could play around with adding quotes, collage material and bursts of water colour aswell as the pen detail in the t-shirt shape.

describe how you intend to layout/bind/package the images?
first aid/survival kit: printing each image out of the gradual journey and putting them in a box designed as a survival kit (what a homeless person would receive at the crypt) or first aid kit a homeless person.
layout of the images: i could potentially start of with the initial portrait of the person with just the face detailed and the empty t-shirt, then gradually add the detailed life event s on-top of the initial print, layering up each stage (i would have to consider material i could draw the events on such as assotate as it would need to be transparent to see previous stages underneath) .

newspaper club: creating a newspaper/article titled 'don't judge a book by its cover' then showing the gradual process of the individuals story throughout the newspaper. i could potentially partner the images (stages) u with quotes on conjoining page.
concertina book: open up to reveal journey.
