OUGD503 Brief 1, informARTive Research pt3

Moms demand action campaign

This is a strong and serious campaign into gun crime used against
children in American. Their posters are bold, daring and play on
the mind of the viewer. These campaign posters are really effective
and informative it allows the viewer to ask a question and be shocked
by the answer.

This questions American's gun law and society, it trys to
show just how silly it is guns are allowed with the deaths of many
children on the increase this campaign strongly relevant.

They have used such techniques;
Sympathy
Fear
Mind playing
Curiosity
And of Course Shock tactics

Hannah Fearn from the Guardian has expanded on the use of shock
tactics in charity campaigns.

This site is to promote recycling to young children to do this it
has used a friendly interface and characters to appeal to the 
imagination of a child. It creates and advertises fun and easy
ways to recycle such as games and art.

The overall appearance of the site is child friendly and fun loving.
This site is highly interactive and engaging which is really important
to children as they have a small attention span so the more for them
to engage with the more they learn. It includes games and video clips 
on almost every page this helps break up the information on the page
for the child, I believe the text that is there is mainly for an adults 
entrainment to read to the child.

Hattie Stewart

Hattie is a illustrator who adds her personal style and doodles
to proclaimed pieces such as magazine covers of big names
such as 'Vogue'

Stewarts style is bold, creative and in your face but in a good
way in the sense it stands out and it makes you want to look.
I really want my poster to stand out and inspire others, like
Stewart inspires me. Her pieces are bright and colourful when
designing for informative I want it to pop off the page and
excentuate the notion of colour.

OUGD502 Brief 1, Responsive - InformARTive Initial Ideas



These are some of my initial ideas and sketches as you can see I have taken clear influence from recycling and typography. My favourite idea is adding detail to the static sculptures in a hattie stewart way but with my personality, I showed my ideas to peers and even sketched how I would pursue this, this way of approaching the info graphic targets the main aims of the brief showing positivity towards recycling.

OUGD503 Brief 1, Responsive - InformARTive: Ideas/Development

To get started I focused on one image to work with which I 
can then use as basis to create a consistent campaign. My first
idea is inspired by the catalyst of nature and how by recycling
we expand life - giving back to our economy and wildlife, I 
want my design to be heavily influenced by the posativity of 
recycling.

The Brief

Did you know that College stops 98.9% of our trash going to landfill?
Most of our rubbish is recycled, reused or turned in Refuse Derived Fuel!
How great is that?

Our College works really hard to be at the forefront of sustainability and
we want to shout about it!

Back in September we held an open workshop for students, where they
could come and create 3D representations of sustainability statistics from
around the College. Students were given a statistic and a selection of 
recycled materials to create something amazing.

We want you to create a visually exciting infographic using one of these 
statistics. You are welcome to use the provided photographs of the 3D 
representations in your infographic, or just use that as a point of inspiration.

We have attached the statistics as well as images that you can use for your 
infographic.

What you need to do:
Chose a statistic from the files linked below
Look at the accompanying images linked below
Create 1 infographic on a chosen statistic
Send as a JPG to student.union@leeds-art.ac.uk
Deadline – December 14th 2015


The chosen designer will be paid £200 to create a campaign to be used 
around college as well as online to promote sustainability here at Leeds 
College of Art.

If you have any questions, get in touch at student.union@leeds-art.ac.uk

Good Luck!
