Visual Communication

For this module I need to select a social issue and produce a campaign made up of a poster, website and motion advert. After searching various issues, I decide to base my campaign on Mental Health. Once I selected my issue, I had to write a proposal. Here is my proposal

After researching various social issues, I have decided to focus on mental health for my campaign. With my campaign, I would like to either address the stigma and discrimination against people with mental health illnesses or, provide information for people around the effected person, such as friends and family. During the initial research stage, I found mental health and propaganda within media to be the most interesting.

My target audience will be either young adults or university students. After doing some research, I have realised young adults tend to suffer with depression and most of the time it goes unnoticed. The transition from school to being and adult can cause a lot of emotional unbalance and uncertainty. This can later lead to mental health issues. People tend to cover up their true feelings, morals and characteristics to fit in with their peers or come across as normal. I want to create a campaign that informs people that it is okay to ask for help, or that it is okay not to feel adequate all the time. To be able to achieve this, I need to distinctively give a strong message across within my campaign outcome designs.

Throughout my journey to my final designs, I will be asking for tutor feedback and peer review to allow me to make sure I am achieving the message I want to convey. The feedback, I hopefully receive will help me to develop my ideas further.

Once this was produced I came up with a brand identity. This is not necessary for the brief but, making a brand identity helps me feel like I'm working for a client. Here is the brand identity placed on a house style  board.

Above I have stated what fonts I will be using but, this may change throughout the development process because, it is still very early in process of final outcomes.

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. ...

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.
