213AAD - Campaign

For this project I am producing a mental health campaign so far, I have produced a range of different poster designs.



FIRST DESIGN

 The purpose of this design is for a person to rip of one of the tabs at the bottom. On the reverse side of the tab, there is a link to my website where they can get 'what they need' on there.

 I believe this is a very strong design however, I am not sure how to go further with it. I constantly receive positive feedback from tutors and peers for this poster design but hardly any ideas on how to develop it into a website and motion animation. Due to this, I have decided to produce other designs.


SECOND DESIGN

For these design I decided to play with the idea of holding a sign. I got each person to hold a blank piece of paper so I could then add text to it later on in the development process. I personally thought the design was strong but, when I had printed it, I realised there was far too much blank/ white space within the design. This lead me to develop it further.





This is a development of the top two designs. I feel it is a good design but, it is not a very good message. This design suggests these people with mental health are being lined up for a mug shot for a police photo. This is not the message I am trying to convey so I decided to not go further with the design. However, I did have a critique on this design and my tutor informed me of the same problem as I picked up on with the design. He then lead on to saying my first design (Take what you need), is still better.



THIRD DESIGN

This design was produced using Adobe Illustrator. I decided to manipulate the idea of telling people that their mental health is just as important as their physical. The designs are very simple 2D illustrations, they have potential if I was to develop it further but I do not think it is quite the look I want to go with for my campaign.



FOURTH DESIGN

This design is based on the concept of 'Elephant In The Room' (the title of my campaign). Elephant in the Room is a metaphor for avoiding a obvious situation or discussion. So I decided to play with the idea of the elephant. I decided to make an abstract elephant face design to place over one of my housemates, I feel this design is very bold and effective and could have a lot of potential for development and a theme that could be used across all outcomes. This poster design allows me to develop it further into a motion animation. The motion animation idea is to have the same person, standing in a busy street, while everyone is walking passed ignoring him. He will have an digital edited elephant mask over to link back to the idea of 'elephant in the room'.

FITH DESIGN

I decided to play with the concept of covering true emotions. I thought the best way to do this would be by creating a design using 'matryoshka dolls'. I like the concept of the design however, I'm not sure it is very well executed.


SIXTH DESIGN

This design plays on the concept of the brain/mind. I decided to create a design the represents how the mental health illness has gotten out of hand and that there is help and support available if you go to elephantintheroom.com

D&AD Submission

I decided to submit my work to the D&AD competition. Here I have attached the video presentation and support .jpegs that I sent. I am very excited about this and I am hoping I win a pencil from this  completion, as this will give an advantage over others when applying for jobs. To submit work, I had to write small explanation. Here is what I put: ‘Virgin Venture’ is for the adventurous. The app and website allow people to book holidays based on categories and destinations. The second feature, which differentiates this app is ‘Venture Luck’. This feature is for the risk takers. The interface of this section is inspired by the popular Tinder app, allowing people to skip, save or book pre-planned holidays. The only detail needed from the person is a date.  There are also interactive posters that work identically, allowing someone to tap the screen. Each tap reveals a new destination, they can then use NFC to save the details. ...

Placement research

Over the last few weeks I have been researching job placements. It has been very hard to find 3 month placements, all of them seem to be a year long or I am not qualified for the opportunity. However, I kept on looking even with these minor set backs and I have now found some placements that I can apply for. 12 month placements DISNEY - Creative & Product Development  https://jobs.disneycareers.com/job/london/internships-creative-and-product-development-2018-19/391/5832619 UNIVERSAL - Graphic Design Intern http://jobs.jobvite.com/universalmusicgroup/job/ofZm6fwq Both of these 12 month placements are amazing opportunities but this is not what I am looking for. I want to either have a placement over the given time during semester 2 (March -May)or, have a summer placement. Due to this, I decided to research local design agencies in Coventry. Here are the three I liked the most. These three design agencies would help me develop professionally b...

Campaign Presentation

The week of submission is such a blur. After rushing about trying to hit a deadline that was sooner than originally told, I was also struck with a sickness bug making it hard for me to function and concentrate. The work was supposed to be due on Wednesday 10th January however, the paperwork said it was due Monday 8th. Even though I was struggling to keep anything down, I still managed to go into university to presentation my presentation (Friday 12th January) of the work I have produced. After all of the struggle, I'm proud of myself. My presentation went well, I received verbal positive feedback from Paul which makes me feel like I will achieve a strong grade of 2-1 or a first. Hopefully, it will be a first as I am aiming to achieve all first for semester 1.
