●Summary of your research (with not more than 500 words).

For me, Japanese, I did not understand about refugee before I learn this topic. There is not seen as usually in Japan. But, for Malaysia, there are a lot kind of issue with people apart from the peace of people with diversity.

When I stay in Malaysia, there is opportunity that I see refugee as usually such as restaurant's clerk, filling-station attendant and so on. It is necessary for Malaysia to employ the refugee for a manufacturing industry, construction industry and plantation. The Malaysia refugee had had about 1.7 million people, 13.5% of all 1272.3 million people at 2012. Also this figure is legal employment, it called there are 200 million people of illegal employment in Malaysia. If these are collect, in fact, there are 1/4 foreigner. 

 Actually, the foreigner employment 72 million people at 2013 in Japan, is 1/10 compared with Malaysia. The employee of Japan is 5500 million people and foreigner employment is 740 million people. 

 Industrialization progress at 1980 in Malaysia, the emerging labor shortage is viewed the population of Malaysia is too few in contrast with the surface area of a land and economic activity. For this, Malaysia government started introduce the refugee and improve it in earnest at 1992. From this, it had continued to surmount the unemployment figure than foreign worker's figure. For this, in Malaysia, the proportion of the foreign worker is high level from the other countries. 

 To add for this, they are not given enough salary because they are not legal. They work as foreign worker to stay in Malaysia, but there are same job to do with common people. Why they can’t get money enough? As I said, they are just no legal employment. Also, there are no school in public that is why they can’t get education enough. For this, someone efforts to teach some kids and woman for their future. It is just circulus vitiosus. They can’t get enough knowledge, they become the adult without freedom.

I just realized the fact of them and could learn about it more deeply. For this experience, I suppose that it is really scarelly things for people who don’t know enough to misunderstand. It is important for them and refugee to get enough knowledge in order to improve the lifestyle. I would like to support them with spreading information clearly to the world and someday I try to teach them even if I’m not teacher.

●3xReferences (my poster going to look like this....).

 For this, it's simple design, but it has impact of him such as posing, emotion without no color. Also, it is important to think about typography to show the topic I want to tell.

 Also, this image is simple, but it shows movement and unity that is why I can understand what this poster mean. I could notice that the poster should be simple and direct to inform to people. I would like to try like this.

Figure 1.3 example from Pinterest

 For this image, I was inspired from the girl's face. She looks hoping the support from someone. Also, the letter is good balance to compose like this. From these examples, I would like to create the poster simply but having impact to tell.
