The main art inspiration behind our design was a tattoo aesthetic - popular with young adults - people in their 20's, who like to eat cheap, and therefore eat things like fish and chips. There were a lot of examples of this around, but the tattoos of things like koi and those inspired by japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints (hokusai's prints with waves) were the most relevant to this assignment. We subvert the norm of these tattoos, by drawing tattoo esque designs and adding the context of our beach cleanup into play using trash, dead creatures, angry sea life etc.
some of the examples were a more dark approach and really cool looking, they were good inspiration for our designs.
We found it was quite common that people did a pastiche of the famous 'great wave' print and incorporated trash, so the correlation between the two themes is definitely appropriate,
