ReplyDeleteHi Dante - let's hope your blog doesn't gobble up my feedback this time (I'll copy/paste it somewhere else just in case!). So, you've chosen your scenario - and you say you're going to look at both sorts of pollination - so the difference between insect and wind pollination. For this reason, I wonder if you need to think a little more about the best way to engage your audience with these differences... what do I mean? Well, for example, at the moment you appear to be focusing on the bee, but if you focused on the pollen grains, you could have them in conversation with one another as they compare their various adaptations, which would be a fun way of teaching people about the different modes. I think you need to be careful of just 'recreating diagrams' explaining pollination because these resources already exist. I suspect the client is looking to you to go further and go beyond the sorts of resources that are already available. A number of students have immediately started drawing bees and flowers - which is to be expected I suppose - but some of the early advice was try telling these stories from more unexpected points of views and finding an original 'voice'. If you were to list the differences between wind pollinated plants and insect pollinated plants (specifically the pollen types) you'd find a whole bunch of physical characteristics that might get you thinking about personality types - put very simply, we already know that insect pollen tends to be bigger and spikier, while wind pollen tends to be smaller and lighter and there's more of it...

Obviously, the pollen aren't really competing with each other because they pollinate specific things, and this could be the story - so you have these squabbling characters competing for supremacy, and then the bee or the flowers themselves explain that the world needs both types of pollination etc.
My broad point is that the key to bringing something new to this scenario (and thus meeting the brief and keeping the client happy) is to find another route into the scenario that looks at the information in a novel and entertaining way while also getting the facts across. My instincts here is don't let 'the bee' draw all of your focus and perhaps consider telling the story from a less obvious point-of-view.
also check your spelling in your OGR, you've got a typo 'Fantasitc' - easily done.
