but not obvious.

do not write “this is a poster”
do not write“This project”,
do not write“We or I was asked to”

... use the active voice.
Think about ... Challenge, Concept, Solution,
Think about ... Audience, Mood/Tone, Keywords

Heifer International

Heifer International is a non-profit group that turns small monetary donations into big opportunities. Created a series of posters under the concept of simple math: through a donation of a cow with Heifer International, families living
in third countries can put food on the table, money in their pockets, and independently achieve dignified success and stability. The illustrative style, photography approach, and bright color palette are woven throughout the collateral;
aiming to target a younger audience as well as intrigue older adults.

Plip

Rethinking social interaction through augmented reality

Concept

A new social media concept that links users through the physical space they share, instead of hashtags or followers. Users write and launch “plips”: small, text-based posts that can only be read and discovered once other users walk into
range of the location from which they were originally posted. Designed to build a sense of local community, Plip encourages connections between you and the people around you.

Approach
Cool, contemporary colors help position this app within existing social media worlds. New inter-face and interaction methods give Plip a unique appeal, while more traditional feed-style screens present users a sense of familiarity.
