So for this exercise i first need to decide what an alternative national heritage looks like. The traditional look for Englands national heritage would be the union jack flag or some landmarks from our capital London city, personalities would be that English people are generally considered quite ‘posh’ to other countries like the US. So I’m going to use the various stigmas that are known across the globe about this country for example the known fact that the English love an alcoholic beverage considering the amount of pubs there are in the country.
I could also use the stereotype that the English have terrible teeth or we never see the sunshine or anything from articles like the below; https://www.gapyear.com/articles/opinion/12-stereotypes-british-people-travel
I’m going to use Photoshop at a low resolution to create some images using a minimal palette of colour but still portray an image.
I ended up with the below image i also added a ‘sun’ at the top of the image as this country relies so much on how the weather chooses to behave. Especially when it comes to the consumption of alcohol as nationally we enjoy what’s called a ‘pub garden’ consuming a cold beverage in the sun is considered rare but part of our alternative national heritage.
