Survey 3- The witches rationale

The Days Of The Witches Of 1500’s

For survey 3, I decided a good focus for me and my team would be the daily lives of the people affected by the witch hunts of the 1500’s. We came to the agreement that this would be an interesting thing to touch upon in this era. All in all, I believe the overall design of the spread would be a 7/10. This is because during the group critiques, a common thing that people were saying was that the colours weren’t used strong enough. The colours on my spread were to lighthearted for the subject matter that I was going over in this spread.The design of the spread was split and focused on two of the ways that witches were killed during this time. These two methods being the infamous swimming test which was short lived, as well as burning which was quite the popular method for Germany. For the two sides I also tried to incorporate how gruesome the corpses would have looked, as well as how it would have looked to anyone from the other point of view. The middle of the spread is used as common ground for the whole spread. The books were the driving force of the witch hunts, so it was the centrepiece of the spread. Behind it lays the pentagram which was typically the main symbol when associating witches with Satan.
