Alcoholism Ideas

In this first idea a mechanical figure (robot) will be walking along drinking beer every few seconds. Slowly you will be able to see the character starting to stumble and struggle to walk as it consumes more alcohol. The robot will also start to steadily rust to represent the long term damage that can be caused by alcohol. Eventually the character will fall to the ground and will still attempt to drink which will result in a lot spilling on himself. A text message would then appear reading "Don't end up in the gutter". This idea was to illustrate how excessive use of alcohol makes you lose control of yourself.

My second idea for the alcoholism idea was to have a robot holding a tanker as it filled with alcohol, but the robot slowly begins to struggle down to the floor as it tries to cope with the weight of the alcohol. This is down to symbolize how alcohol can take effect on a person by bringing them down with problems and also the negative physical attributes alcohol can cause.

We thought the second idea was too hard to communicate to an audience so I developed another concept that could better represent the consumption of alcohol. For this plan the main idea was to have a conveyor belt arm that feeds drink into the robots mouth as it opens and closes. The robot is similar to a zombies characteristics showing that alcoholism takes control of the body and mind like a zombie. The more the robot drinks the cogs and body parts will start to fall off. This is the final idea we decided to go with because we thought the position of the character was more interesting and different.
