"Choose a significant political issue, past or present. Research the issue thoroughly. Then assmilate the facts and express your view of the issue symbolically in the form of a postcard."

The political issue I chose was the trial and release of the Lockerbie Bomber, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi. You can read the article I looked at here.

There were many different reasons that I decided to use a monopoly theme for my postcard.

this was the name sign for a restaurant in camden town, near chalk farm station. as i walked past, it immediately stood out from the other buildings surrounding it. the website explains the theme behind the restaurant - "An eclectic menu follows the adventures of Phileas Fogg, hero of the Jules Verne novel Around the World in 80 Days; we invite you to dip into the a la carte menu where you will find different sections for the different legs of Fogg’s voyage - an African, European, Asian or American 'journey', with each covering a breadth and depth of the delicacies from around the world.
