My Leaving Certificate mock poster, ladies and Gentlemen. Deviantart needs to allow fádás in their titles!


For those not in the know, the Leaving Certficate is the Irish version of the Abituer/A levels/whatever. The big exam you do before you leave school to go to college, basically.
So I recently had my mock exams which are essentially mini-trial runs to make sure you're ready for the real tests. This was one of my practical art exams; create a poster, sculpture, stamp, print or whatever in around 5 hours. [Art & Craft exam, naturally.] For this you pick out a title a few days before the exam from a paper [one of many, all written for the different disiplines you can practise for the exam] and you research the title/make preperation sheets for your final piece.
My project was entitled 'Forsaí Inmhéanach' which means 'Internal Forces'. I decided to create a poster from the general Art & craft paper rather than the Design paper because you get more time. Anyway; basically my piece is about the link between Cholesterol and Depression. [You know, 'internal forces'? Blood pressure?] I know that the omnipotent, unspecified experts of all things health-related say depression can be linked to low levels of Cholesterol, but I wanted to look into the effects of being fat on your mental health as I'm pretty well versed in that respect.

TL;DR: THIS IS CALLED INTERNAL FORCES AND IT'S ABOUT HOW RED BLOOD CELLS LOOK LIKE DOUGHNUTS AND VICE VERSA.

THE END!
