Big Issue 'Stereotype' Idea



My idea 'Stereotype' is to take peoples Stereotypes of a Big Issue Salesperson to an extreme height and make it look pathetic that people would ever think that of these magazine selling folk.

Picture an addict sat on the floor much like the pictures above (the "You homeless crackhead" isn't my writing but she represents the person i wanted to portray so i've included the picture, maybe a little bit funny though) Shooting needles, filthy, unwashed, bad fashion, unhealthy, underweight, no teeth, pale, messy hair, withdrawn, aged. I want this fiend on the floor to then be holding a stack of big issues trying to sell them to people, being rude and slightly aggressive as they say "Buy One!" to passers by. Then I'm wondering what to finish with, maybe a shot of an actual Big Issue Seller, at work on a normal street trading with customers, and a catchy tagline which I can't currently think of as its getting late.
