Possible Themes for CC : Visual Communication

In my previous blog post, I started to look into possible themes and ideas I could focus on for the project. But as they are just possibilities, I wanted to take a deeper look into possible visual aspects that focus on the themes I have already mentioned – Hospitality, Space/NASA, Animals, Reading and Gluten Free eating/dining – and see if these found examples could help me in the idea generation stage of the project.

Hospitality

By finding these examples, I have a greater understanding of the importance of each theme. The pieces above are not meant to conform me to an specfic theme, but they have open my mind up into what I could possibly focus on for my own project. Some of the found imagery, are very direct and offer a clear impact, very common for a campaign piece because they make you think about what you are seeing – I think this could be a very interesting design route to follow. But, in addition to this, some of the pieces are also more friendly and inviting, which reaches out to the audience in an engaging way. Every found imagery above represents a different campaign or raising awareness technique, which has given me more to think about in terms of my own project direction.
