Katy Fleetham Social Action Campaign Evaluation I believed that my finished pieces are appropriate for my target audience and are therefore fit for their intended purpose. To begin my production, I started with a logo, as this is one of the most important things for any campaign to have. I downloaded specific fonts from online that I believe would add more aesthetic quality to my work, and appeal to an audience aged 1624. I later went back to my logo designs and added another, featuring my client’s logo too. This made my work more specific to my client, so that my campaign can be associated with The Angelus Foundation. Below, I have included my first logo design, as well as my logo specific to my client. I believe that the second design is better suited for the intended purpose of the task. I believe that the first logo communicates a clear message about legal highs, due to the large cross in the background, which shows they have a negative impact. I originally started with red and black, which carry many negative connotations, although I found that some people may find the logo difficult to read; for this reason I used colour overlays to experiment with different colours. I believe that my logo designs are appropriate, and well targetted to my audience. The rough, messy style is likely to appeal to a certain audience, within the age range, that I believe may be interested in legal highs. By grabbing the attention of this specific audience I intend to sway their decision on legal highs, by educating them. Out of the 7 people who completed feedback for my work, 4/7 people said that they prefer the second logo. Comments say that the brighter colours ‘give a more gentle approach which looks more appealing’. Due to the reasonably even split, it would appear that the first logo is also very effective because people believe that it is ‘bolder and more memorable’. I believe that my posters fit the intended pupose of educating people about legal highs. I decided to tell people the effects of legal highs, so that they are able to make their own decision, rather than telling them what they should, or should not, do. I believe that for this specific age range of 1624, educating them on the effects of legal highs would be more effective than telling them what they cannot do, as they may simply want to rebel against the command.

Social  Action  Campaign-­‐  Evaluation    I  believed  that  my  finished  pieces  are  appropriate  for  my  target  audience  and  are  therefore  fit  for  their  intended  purpose. To  begin  my  production,  I  started  with  a    logo,  as  this  is  one  of  the  most  important  things  for  any  campaign  to  have.  I  downloaded  specific  fonts  from  online  that  I  believe  would  add  more  aesthetic  quality  to  my  work,  and  appeal  to  an  audience  aged  16-­‐24.  I  later  went  back  to  my  logo  designs  and  added  another,  featuring  my  client’s  logo  too.  This  made  my  work  more  specific  to  my  client,  so  that  my  campaign  can  be  associated  with  The  Angelus  Foundation.    

Below,  I  have  included  my  first  logo  design,  as  well  as  my  logo  specific  to  my  client.  I  believe  that  the  second  design  is  better  suited  for  the  intended  

purpose  of  the  task.  I  believe  that  the  first  logo  communicates  a  clear  message  about  legal  highs,  due  to  the  large  cross  in  the  background,  which  shows  they  have  a  negative  impact.  I  originally  started  with  red  and  black,  which  carry  many  negative  connotations,  although  I  found  that  some  people  may  find  the  logo  difficult  to  read;  for  this  reason  I  used  colour  overlays  to  experiment  with  different  colours.  I  believe  that  my  logo  designs  are  appropriate,  and  well  targetted  to  my  audience.  The  rough,  messy  style  is  likely  to  appeal  to  a  certain  audience,  within  the  age  range,  that  I  believe  may  be  interested  in  legal  highs.  By  grabbing  the  attention  of  this  specific  audience  I    intend  to  sway  their  decision  on  legal  highs,  by  educating  them.  Out  of  the  7  people  who  completed  feedback  for  my  work,  4/7  people  said  that  they  prefer  the  second  logo.  Comments  say  that    the  brighter  colours  ‘give  a  more  gentle  approach  which  looks  more  appealing’.  Due  to  the  reasonably  even  split,  it  would  appear  that  the  first  logo  is  also  very  effective  because  people  believe  that  it  is  ‘bolder  and  more  memorable’.     I  believe  that  my  posters  fit  the  intended  pupose  of  educating  people  about  legal  highs.  I  decided  to  tell  people  the  effects  of  legal  highs,  so  that  they  are  able  to  make  their  own  decision,  rather  than  telling  them  what  they  should,  or  should  not,  do.  I  believe  that  for  this  specific  age  range  of  16-­‐24,  educating  them  on  the  effects  of  legal  highs  would  be  more  effective  than  telling  them  what  they  cannot  do,  as  they  may  simply  want  to  rebel  against  the  command.

  The  first  poster  that  I  created  stated,  in  very  simple  phrases,  the  effects  of  many  different  legal  highs.  This  is  information  that  I  found  out  through  research.  The  text  is  written  in  the  colour  red,  which  has  many  negative  connotations,  such  as  danger.  I  created  other  designs  similar  to  my  first  poster,  mainly  focussing  on  text.  Comparing  this  to  a  smoking  campaign  that  I  looked  at  previously,  as  part  of  my  research,  I  have  found  that  mine  is  much  less  effective.  Santa  Casa  De  Misericordia  De  São  Paulo’s  Anti-­‐Smoking  Campaign  has  a  much  more  effective  and  professional  poster  than  my  own.  Their  poster  consists  on  white  text  on  a  black  background.  They  use  a  

font  that  is  easier  to  read,  which  makes  their  poster  stand  out  much  more  than  mine.  To  improve  my  poster,  I  could  consider  creating  it  again  in  a  similar  style  to  this  (see  final  page  for  redesigned  poster).  After  creating  my  first  poster,  I  then  decided  that  I  should  use  imagery  to  show  people  the  effects  of  legal  highs  as  ‘an  

image  speaks  1000  words’.  I  rotoscoped  in  detail,  an  

image  of  a  young  woman  that  looks  rough,  due  to  the  effects  that  drugs  have  on  facial  appearance.  I  used  the  colour  range  tool  to  ensure  that  the  rough,  imperfections  of  her  face  were  not  missed  out.  I  then  decided  to  include  a  large  quote  to  give  out  a  more  personal  message  to  my  audience.  I  followed  this  by  a  fact  

and  a  link  to  my  clients  website  if  they  wish  to  seek  more  information  on  legal  highs.  I  believe  that  this  poster  commmunicates  a  much  clearer  message  to  the  audience  because  the  imagery  and  the  quote  makes  it  more  eyecatching.    A  response  from  my  feedback  stated  that,  “the  poster  of  the  woman  also  creates  a  more  deeper  meaning  as  it  shows  it  ruined  her  life  and  how  it  has  affected  her”.  Many  comments  from  my  feedback  stated  that  the  short  sentences  and  facts  are  very  effective  and  memorable.  I  believe  that  this  piece  could  be  improved  hugely.  A  lot  of  th  eoriginal  picture  texture  is  still  in  the  rotoscoped  image,  whereas  with  my  later  rotoscoped  pieces,  I  found  that  they  looked  better  because  they  did  not  contain  color  overlays.     I  later  experimented  with  a  different  style  of  posters  that  would  fit  the  same  intended  purpose.  I  decided  to  create  a  poster  informing  people  of  the  consequences  of  driving  under  the  influence  of  legal  highs.  I  believe  that  this  is  

Page 3: Evaluation

Katy Fleetham

very  appropriate  for  my  target  audience  as  they  are  at  the  age  in  which  they  may  begin  to  drive.  They  are  also  in  the  age  group  that  cause  the  more  road  accidents.  I  believe  that  by  listing  the  consequences  in  a  clear  font,  this  poster  communicates  the  message  that  I  am  trying  to  send  out,  clearly.  This  poster  included  much  brighter  colours  and  much  more  imageryt  than  my  previous  style.  I  used  a  blur  on  the  road  to  show  how  a  persons  driving  ability  can  be  impaired  by  the  side  effects  of  legal  highs.  100%  of  the  people  who  gave  me  feedback  believed  that  this  poster  is  effective.  The  people  completing  my  questionnaire  also  believed  that  the  most  important  aspect  of  a  poster  is  the  imagery,  closely  followed  by  the  text.  This  suggests  that  the  posters  I  created  with  large  amounts  of  imagery  are  likely  to  be  more  effective  to  my  target  audience.  

One  of  the  posters  that  I  created  in  the  different  style,  similar  to  my  driving  one,  can  be  compared  to  a  poster  that  Frank  released.  I  created  a  poster  which  uses  the  same  powerful  phrase,  ‘legal  highs  are  tested  on  you’.  Frank’s  poster  is  very  effective  ue  to  the  negative  imagery  that  it  uses,  showing  the  devastating  effects  of  legal  highs.  It  also  uses  the  bright  colours  of  yellow  and  red,  which  indicates  danger.  For  my  piece  I  decided  to  use  an  image  much  less  graphic,  with  a  much  lighter  colour  scheme.  I  wanted  most  of  the  focus  in  my  poster  to  go  to  the  the  text,  and  my  logo.  I  believe  that  my  poster  is  better  than  the  one  above  as  mine  looks  more  clean  and  professional.  I  think  that  the  red  filter  they  have  used  on  the  photograph  makes  it  look  unprofessional.  

 The  next  step  that  I  took  in  the  production  process,  was  to  create  merchandise.  To  start  with,  I  created  a  t-­‐shirt  with  a  logo  design  that  I  had  

previously  decided  I  wouldn’t  use.  I  found  that  this  design  better  suited  a  t-­‐shirt  because  it  expressed  a  clear  message  to  anyone  that  would  see  it.  I  used  the  same  font  

as  I  had  used  already  for  the  logo  and  the  posters,  for  consistency.  This  would  make  the  different  aspects  of  the  campaign  more  recognisable  to  

people.  I  also  decided  that  I  would  include  the  logo  on  the  front  of  the  shirt,  as  well  as  much  larger  across  the  back.  The  t-­‐shirts  raise  awareness  to  the  topic  of  legal  highs,  and  therefore  they  are  fit  for  the  purpose  I  intended  for  them.  I  came  back  to  this  design  later  on  in  the  project  and  I  decided  that  I  wanted  to  make  another  set  of  t-­‐shirts  in  a  different  style.    This  is  when  I  came  up  with  the  black  shirt  which  I  believe  will  appeal  more  to  my  audience,  as  I  believe  that  the  colour  black  will  appeal  more  to  my  audience  than  just  a  plain  white  tee.  

I  also  used  the  purple  and  yellow  logo  on  this  design  as  I  thought  the  bright  colours  would  stand  out  really  well  on  a  black  t-­‐shirt.  The  shirt  still  has  the  same  phrase  of  “say  no  to  legal  highs”,  but  it  also  includes  the  web  address  for  my  client’s  website,  where  they  can  find  out  more  

Page 4: Evaluation

Katy Fleetham

information  about  legal  highs.  My  t-­‐shirt  is  similar  to  one  that  I  found  during  my  research,  which  consisted  of  a  black  t-­‐shirt  with  white  writing  that  states  “just  say  no  to  drugs”.  I  liked  that  this  style  was  very  simple  and  the  white-­‐on-­‐black  looked  very  effective.  I  decided  that  I  would  follow  a  similar  idea,  but  with  a  more  interesting  font  and  the  use  of  bright  imagery  to  make  the  design  stand  out  more  to  the  audience.  

I  then  thought  about  what  types  of  merchandise  I  would  be  able  to  give  away  for  free  as  part  of  the  campaign,  as  I  believe  by  handing  out  free  merchandise,  that  this  would  raise  awareness.  I  decided  upon  a  collection  of  pens,  keyrings,  badges  and  wristbands.    These  all  included  various  designs  that  I  believe  would  appeal  to  my  target  audience  of  both  males  and  females  aged  between  16  and  24.  As  these  are  all  very  cheap  to  produce,  they  could  be  distributed  amoungst  many  people  more  easily,  since  they  will  be  free.  I  designed  three  pens,  all  of  which  include  a  different  phrase  that  gets  across  a  clear  message  about  legal  highs.  I  have  also  included  the  website  address  on  all  the  pens,  as  well  as  the  keyrings,  and  some  of  the  badges  too.  I  believe  that  these  products  will  appeal  to  my  audience  as  ‘freebies’  that  they  may  pick  up  at  a  freshers  fair  without  really  thinking  about  it.    But  these  do  raise  awarenesss  for  legal  highs.  5/7  people  who  completed  my  questionnaire,  stted  that  they  would  wear  the  merchandise  in  support  of  the  campaign.  People  mentioned  that  it  would  be  a  great  way  to  raise  awareness  and  that  they  believe  the  designs  are  creative  and  effective.  One  of  the  people  that  voted  ‘no’  wrote  that  the  clothing  did  not  suit  the  kind  of  clothes  that  they  wear.  This  suggests  that  I  could  think  about  creating  more  designs  in  a  different  style,  to  appeal  to  a  wider  audience.  

For  the  fourth  aspect  of  my  campaign,  I  decided  that  I  would  design  the  home  page  for  a  website  that  I  could  run  as  part  of  the  campaign.  The  intention  of  the  website  would  be  to  educate  people  about  the  effects  of  legal  highs  as  well  as  letting  them  read  about  other  people’s  experiences,  being  able  to  contribute  themselves,  as  well  as  to  get  in  contact  with  somebody  if  they  wish  to  seek  help. I    used  the  same  fonts  that  I  have  used  previously  for  merchandise,  posters,  and  my  logo.  I  have  also  made  my  website  compatible  with  mobiles,  so  I  have  included  a  design  of  how  the  page  would  appear.  I  have  included  a  navigation  bar,  to  make  the  site  easy  to  navigate,  plenty  of  imagery,  to  make  the  page  interesting,  and  social  media  links,  for  people  who  wish  to  view  more  regular  

Page 5: Evaluation

Katy Fleetham

updates  on  what  the  campaign  is  doing.  I  thought  that  it  would  be  important  to  make  the  site  mobile-­‐friendly  due  

to  the  age  of  my  target  audience  and  their  mobile  phone  usage.  I  have  included  live  feeds  of  the  campaigns  twitter  and  facebook  on  the  right  hand  of  the  screen.  The  use  of  social  media,  I  believe,  will  appeal  to  my  target  audience.  The  website  promotes  the  merchandise  that  I  have  made  also,  with  the  intention  to  make  people  aware  and  encourage  sales.  Back  to  my  research,  I  found  that  the  films  the  Angelus  Foundation  created  were  very  effective  in  educating  people  on  the  effects  of  legal  highs  and  their  consequences,  therefore  I  included  these  on  my  home  page.  100%  of  my  feedback  stated  that  people  believe  my  website  will  appeal  to  16-­‐24  year  olds  that  were  seeking  information  on  legla  highs.  This  is  a  very  useful  figure,  as  100%  of  the  people  who  completed  my  questionnaire  were  of  this  age  range.  

  My  website  can  easily  be  compared  with  that  of  FRANK’s,  which  gives  advice  on  all  drugs.  Frank’s  has  a  similar  colour  scheme,  which  consists  of  it  being  mostly  black  with  some  white,  and  a  small  amount  of  colour.  I  added  more  colour  to  my  website  because  I  thought  that  it  would  make  it  stand  out  more  to  my  target  audience.  Frank’s  website  uses  direct  questions  on  their  home  page,  which  is  a  very  effective  technique  to  use.  To  improve  my  website,  I  could  use  a  similar  technique.  

Once  I  had  completed  all  the  work  above,  that  I  had  included  in  my  plan,  I  found  that  I  had  time  to  spare.  I  used  this  time  to  then  add  more  to  my  project.  The  first  extension  task  that  I  set  myself,  was  to  create  a  moving  advert,  that  I  saved  in  the  form  of  a  GIF.  The  intention  of  this  was  to  educate  people  on  a  specific  legal  high,  Black  Mamba,  which  has  an  increase  in  cases  in  the  west  midlands  in  particular.  I  quoted  statistics  from  May,  July  

Page 6: Evaluation

Katy Fleetham

and  August  showing  the  increase  in  phone  calls  related  to  the  side  effects  caused  by  Black  Mamba.  I  felt  that  it  was  important  to  address  this  significant  increase  in  cases,  to  raise  awareness  of  the  consequences  of  young  people  taking  legal  highs.  I  believe  that  this  piece  makes  a  great  adddition  to  my  campaign,  fit  for  my  intended  purpose  to  educate  young  people.  By  timing  the  GIF  so  that  small  phrases  appear  at  a  time,  it  communicates  the  message  more  clearly.  I  used  a  variety  of  fonts  for  aesthetic  qualities,  as  well  as  to  interest  my  target  audience.    

  To  bring  together  all  my  merchandise,  I  then  decided  that  it  would  be  a  great  idea  to  design  a  freshers  stall.  As  part  of  the  freshers  stall  I  decided  that  the  cheaper  merchandise,  such  as  pens,  keyrings,  wristbands  and  badges,  could  be  given  away  for  free  to  promote  the  campaign,  to  gain  support  and  to  raise  awareness.  The  stall  will  be  run  by  campaigners/representatives,  who  wish  to  educate  people  on  the  effects  of  legal  highs. The  stall  could  be  set  up  at  events    in  secondary  schools  and  universities,  in  order  to  reach  out  to  their  target  audience  more  easily.  

I  thought  that  a  freshers  stall  would  be  a  great  way  to  promote  the  campaign,  but  alongside  the  freshers  stall  I  decided  that  I  would  need  to  create  leaflets,  booklets  and  flyers.  The  intention  of  these  additional  pieces  is  to  educate  people,  to  campaign  against  legal  highs,  and  to  offer  help.    The  flyer  and  the  booklet  are  targetted  at  my  audinece  aged  16-­‐24.  

The  flyers  include  the  social  media  addresses  for  the  campaign  so  that  young  people  could  support  the  campaign  and  follow  its  journey.  The  booklet  is  aimed  at  helping  young  people  who  may  be  in  contact  with  legal  highs,  or  may  be  concerned  about  a  friend.  The  booklet  woud  include  a  list  of  helplines  as  well  as  information  about  legal  highs  and  FAQ’s.  

Flyer   Booklet     Leaflet    

Page 7: Evaluation

 I  decided  that  I  would  complete  the  leaflet  in  a  different  style  to  my  other  pieces,  as  I  wanted  to  create  something  that  I  could  aim  at  parents. I  decided  that    in  order  to  educate  young  people  more  thoroughly  on  legal  highs,  first  we  need  to  educate  their  parents.  By  informing  parents  what  to  look  out  for  and  where  they  can  get  advice  and  help  if  they  believe  their  child  could  be  getting  involved  with  legal  highs,  we  are  raising  awareness.  In  comparison  to  my  previous  designs,  the  front  cover  of  this  booklet  has  fonts  that  are  much  more  simple  and  easy  to  read,  as  well  as  less  bright  colours  and  no  block  lettering.  

  For  my  feedback,  I  asked  people  which  free  items  they  would  take  away  from  the  stall,  these  included:  pens;  keyrings;  wristbands;  badges;  or  nothing.  1/7  people  said  they  would  take  nothing,  which  suggests  that  my  campaign  will  not  appeal  to  everyone.  The  most  popular  products  were  the  wristbands,  closely  followed  by  pens.  People  commented  to  suggest  that  they  would  wear/use  these  items  regularly,  to  raise  awareness  for  the  campaign.  They  also  mentioned  the  practicality  of  pens,  which  makes  them  beneficial.  

  Looking  back  at  my  early  planning  for  the  campaign,  the  finished  result  matches  my  original  intentions.  On  the  other  hand,  I  was  able  to  produce  more  work  in  the  time  scale  given,  than  originally  planned.  The  main  intention  of  my  campaign  itself,  was  to  raise  awareness,  and  I  believe  that  I  have  successfully  met  this  target.  With  the  extra  time  that  I  had  for  production,  I  was  able  to  create  new  pieces  if  work  in  a  different  style,  with  the  same  or  even  different  intention.  For  example,  my  ‘Think!  Road  safety’  poster  about  taking  legal  highs  and  driving  had  a  completely  different  intention  to  the  rest  of  the  work  in  my  campaign,  and  is  is  made  with  a  very  specific  purpose.  This  piece  contrasts  with  the  planning  that  I  created  for  my  posters,  as  it  follows  a  very  different  style.  In  comparison  to  my  other  posters,  I  believe  that  it  is  more  effective  due  to  the  use  of  imagery,  and  the  feedback  it  received  was  very  positive.  Many  believed  that  the  poster  was  very  relevant  and  impactful.     I  have  included  another  ‘Think!’  poster  for  comparison.  This  poster  is  from  a  motorcyclists’  point  of  view,  but  the  purpose  is  similar  in  certain  aspects.    The  intention  of  the  poster  is  to  remind  people  that  they  need  to  give  the  road  their  entire  attention  to  avoid  road  accidents.  This  purpose  is  similar  to  my  own.  Their  poster  is  effective  as  it  uses  a  point-­‐of-­‐view  photograph,  similar  to  my  

Page 8: Evaluation

Katy Fleetham

rotoscoped  piece.  I  too,  have  made  the  road  out-­‐of-­‐focus  to  show  the  lack  of  concentration.  I  believe  that  their  poster  is  more  effective  because  it  uses  shorter,  more  impacting  phrases.  I  could  consider  making  my  poster  again  using  a  more  block  font,  making  it  easier  to  read,  and  shorter  phrases  to  make  my  poster  more  effective.  Although  I  like  the  simple  rotoscoping  I  have  used  for  my  poster,  and  the  bright  colours,  I  could  consider  remaking  the  poster  using  photography,  which  would  show  more  skill  in  my  work,  and  may  have  a  more  professional  outcome.  

Another  piece  that  contrasts  with  my  original  intentions  is  the  booklet  which  I  created  for  parents. In  comparison  to  my  previous  designs,  the    front  cover  of  this  booklet  has  fonts  that  are  much  more  simple  and  easy  to  read,  as  well  as  less  bright  colours  and  no  block  lettering.  I  made  these  changes  in  order  to  appeal  to  the  older  audience,  and  to  raise  awareness  amongst  this  age  group,  so  that  they  could  educate  their  children  on  the  dangers  of  legal  highs.  This  is  the  only  piece  in  my  campaign  that  is  not  aimed  at  my  target  audience  of  16-­‐24,  but  by  creating  this  piece,  I  have  opened  up  my  campaign  to  a  wider  age  range.     I  have  included  the  Angelus  Foundation’s  

front  cover  from  their  parents  handbook,  which  you  can  download  from  their  website.  Their  front  cover  uses  red  as  it  is  eye-­‐catching  and  has  the  connotations  of  danger.  The  front  cover  is  very  plain,  yet  very  sophisticated  and  suitable  for  their  audience.  They  have  used  a  very  different  style  to  my  own,  and  there  is  a  lot  of  contrast  in  terms  of  the  content  of  the  frongt  page.  My  front  cover  was  

designed  to  be  eye-­‐catching  and  intriguing  to  parents,  therfore  I  used  imagery  and  text  together,  as  well  as  short  impactful  phrases  to  persuade  parents  to  educate  their  children.  The  front  cover  from  Angelus  Foundation  does  not  need  all  these  aspects,  as  parents  will  not  see  the  handbook,  until  after  

they  have  requested  the  digital  copy.  This  means  that  it  is  simply  there  to  fulfil  the  purpose  to  educate,  and  it  does  not  need  to  appeal  to  its  audience  visually  to  such  an  extent.     I  have  used  a  range  of  techniques  as  part  of  my  campaign  to  raise  awareness  of  legal  highs.  For  example,  in  terms  of  technical  elements  in  my  posters,  I  have  used  creative  fonts  to  make  the  text  stand  out  for  some  posters,  and  for  others  I  have  used  imagery  to  show  the  devastating  effects  of  legal  high  consumption.  My  first  collection  of  posters  consisted  mostly  of  text  and  short

phrases  that  I  hoped  to  be  effective.  My  questionnaire  results  gave  me  evidence  that  my  posters  were  effective.  Alongside  these  posters,  I  created  some  more,  using  imagery,  from  rotoscoping  in  Photoshop.  I  found  from  my  feedback  that  the  posters  with  imagery  were  more  effective  as  the  elements  are  eyecatching  and  draw  in  the  audience.  My  feedback  stated  that  100%  of  16-­‐24  year  olds,  who  took  part,  believed  that  my  posters  were  effective.     On  the  other  hand,  some  aspects  of  my  work  were  not  as  effective  as  others.  

From  my  feedback,  I  found  that  certain  products  that  I  have  produced  as  merchandise  did  not  appeal  to  the  audience.  The  badges  were  the  least  popular  amongst  the  free  items  at  my  ‘freshers  stall’,  according  to  my  questionnaire.  Keyrings  were  also  not  very  popular.  I  believe  that  the  keyrings  may  be  unpopular  due  to  the  age  of  my  target  audience,  and  that  the  keyrings  have  no  productive  use.  This  may  be  the   same  case  with  the  badges,  in  which  case,  I  could  consider  not  producing  these  as  merchandise,  or  redesigning  them  to  make  them  more  appealing.  A  comment  suggested  that  they  thought  the  badges  ‘are  very  creative’  so  I  could  consider  keeping  them  as  part  of  the  campaign,  but  producing  less  of  them,  or  adding  more  designs  so  that  they  could  appeal  more  to  my  audience.  

As  a  whole,  people  have  described  my  campaign  as  ‘effective’,  ‘impactful’  and  ‘professional’,  which  I  believe  is  great  feedback.  In  general,  the  feedback  I  received  was  very  positive,  pointing  out  the  most  successful  elements  of  the  campaign  and  specific  pieces  of  work  that  they  thnought  were  effective.  Although  I  asked  if  there  is  anything  that  I  could  change  about  my  campaign  or  improve  on,  there  was  no  feedback  suggesting  that  this  was  necessary.  I  believe  that  my  camapign  could  have  a  very  positive  impact  on  the  public.  I  hope  that  it  brings  about  change  in  young  people,  through  educating  them  on  the  effects  of  legal  highs,  so  that  they  can  make  their  own  educated  decision.  Hopefully  the  merchandise  and  ‘freshers  stall’  will  help  to  raise  awareness  for  the  campaign,  allowing  it  to  grow.

  Santa  Casa  De  Misericordia  De  São  Paulo’s  Anti-­‐Smoking  Campaign  have  a  very  effective  set  of  posters,  which  inspired  me  to  change  my  poster  layout  for  a  similar  effect.  I  have  used  a  black  background  with  a  list  of  white  text  that  raises  awareness  to  the  effects  of  legal  highs  on  a  persons  health.  I  took  these  effects  from  my  existing  poster,  and  displayed  them  in  this  format  as  it  is  more  effective.  To  make  the  text  easier  to  read,  I  used  a  serif  font.  I  then  combined  this  with  a  sans  serif  font  for  the  phrase  “legal  highs  kill”,  to  make  the  poster  more  aesthetically  pleasing.  I  believe  that  this  poster  is  more  fit  for  its  intended  purpose  than  my  original  style,  as  it  is  simpler.  The  contrast  in  the  white  on  black,  makes  the  writing  stand  out  significantly  better  than  my  red  text  on  the  off-­‐white  poster.  Having  removed  the  unnecessary  words,  this  poster  communicates  the  message  that  I  am  trying  to  get  across,  much  more  clearly.  I  also  feel  that  this  poster  would  appeal  more  to  my  target  audience  as  it  has  a  very  basic  colour  scheme,  and  a  very  bold  design.  This  poster  follows  a  very  different  style  to  my  original,  and  contrasts  with  both  my  planning,  and  my  original  intentions.  I  feel  that  this  poster  will  have  a  bigger  impact  on  the  public.  I  also  recreated  my  second  poster  in  this  style.
