Task 1 – Issues

ACAT Ambient Ad -  Back of seats

This campaign was launched mainly in Switzerland back in 2009. The ACAT is a Christian non-governmental organisation to Flight against torture and protects victims of abuse. So spread awareness on this topic Y&R agency network created this simple yet effective advertising for this cause.

As we can see above these were placed where people sit after each other to make it more realistic in a sense to the reader at the back of that seat. While the public transport will have a broader audience, the cinema and public benches will also work.

I think that this is a very ingenious move and it was perfectly executed for a better understanding of the issue and how people can be aware and come aware of it using everyday settings.

WWF Fish Head Climate Change ad photo

This Social issue by the WWF concerns global warming how it affects animals and our environment and evidently how it will effect us as humans. This campaign was back in 2011 and is still relevant today.

This image was posted on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and other social media.

The impact on the audience is that if something isn’t done about it, the coming generations will have to live with it. Since 2009 a lot has changed and that more and more countreys are being on board with it.

My own take is that it’s practical and easy to understand. But I fear that its too blunt and this can be a positive or a negative it depends on how you look at it.

Ecovia Print Ad -  Stop the Violence, Don't drink and drive

This is a campaign against drinking and driving and there a total of 5 images with the same meaning but different people and vehicles to illustrate this. The Agency network is the Terremoto network. The campaign was released in January of 2017.

The effects of the “punch” are exaggerated in the impact of post-production to improve the effectiveness of the issue. According to a survey done by the CDC in America in 2015 10,265 people alone died from drink and driving.

Even if this helps just 2 lives, it justifies it’s effectiveness to the issue.

How drink and driving are illustrated is childishly but it a more knowledgeable person can understand and relate to their childhood.

Liking Isn't Helping

Liking isn’t helping the social issue. How can we share and like a cause and sit there and do nothing. This is something that happens on social media and through this campaign, the irony comes out would we really do this in real life, would we react this way or differently.

The objective is to highlight how we have become to react to negative issues and how it impacts our daily lives.

Although it was released back in 2014 its still relevant today.

Paper Dispenser

This is a similar campaign from the WWF about global warming but rather this time it’s about how we as humans cut trees left right and centre all we care about is our pockets, but not the people that come after us or the next generation.

The change from everything green to almost nothing (left to right)  is the contrast the designers want to create.

My personal reflection is that we shouldn’t use paper as often as we use it, it’s sometimes simpler to get out your phone and use it but, if you have to use a paper use it but if you always can recycle it so it can be reused or given another life rather than throwing it away.

Bund is based on research done that every 1 minute or 60 seconds a species die because of hunger, lack of habitat and also how we humans treat the world. This organisation aimed at people who love animals to give a donation to help reduce this number.

When you see the above image, the human being in me gets shocked to what I know, but this is the hard truth we have to face. I think its appealing and eye-catching therefore its sufficient to its purpose and how the CG animator gave the scene the dark colour scheme and how it is framed as we have this power over them really blends everything together.
