Hi Everyone!

Just wondering if you have five spare minutes to have a look at some ad concepts my group and I working on for a research subject at uni.

The campaign is an awareness / educational series about the drug crystal meth (a.k.a ICE) and is aimed at 20-29 year old guys.

There is a PDF of some posters attached, can you please have a look at it and fill in the below questions then send back to me? Should only take 5 mins, would be much appreciated!

1. Are you MALE or FEMALE?

2. How old are you?

3. What do you think this campaign communicates?

4. From viewing this campaign do you think you are in a better position to make an informed decision regarding the use of the drug ice?

5. How would you describe the campaign’s tone of voice?

6. Do you think the image / logo / type combination is designed in a way which aids communication?

7. Other comments:

Thanks heaps!

some copypasting from fanny’s blog.

so, my lecturer - Colin J - was doing this topic on how a good marketing plan is looking at the things to come and not just where things are currently at.

Colin: Just like dogs. When you point at something, the dog will look at your finger and not the thing you’re pointing at.

(students nodding)

Colin: Only stupid marketers act like the dog. Stupid marketers and Swiburne graduates.

(student laughing)

well this is exactly how ray talks about design at monash & rmit!!!
guess it cant be helped…

…. you energy hogging lightbulbs!!!!

wouldnt ad-agencies kill if they were able to use this concept for a similar product?
beats boring mainstreamish approaches… or brilliant indonesian takes on the humble lightbulb ie the vampire campaign for osram (remember that one, guys?! now thats what we call “.. hanya di indonesia!!” )

[adits packaging entry-to-be for the southern cross design awards 07. go and kick some serious butt!!]

OMG. fanny dear ur getting seriously good at this cake baking stuff!!!
you’ve raised the bar quite high, there.. im expecting heaps of yummyness from blenheim in the future.

what she n inne recently made was [read this entry's subject]. entah kenapa nyari poppyseeds susah banget so they made it without, but it was still VERY NICE.. and the mascarpone.. yummers.

now this makes me somewhat strictly wanting to eat homemade cakes ONLY. krn sperti yg sudah dibuktikan sama gue n fan 2 taon lalu, the cakes served in cafe’s can be LETHAL(oke berlebihan). buat yg belom tau, kita pernah ngafe di cafe siena (thats on chapel st, right in front of frostbites) about 2 years ago. we shared a cheesecake, which was actually yum. so we were already half finishing the cake lalu fan noticed something strange on the cream on top. “kok warnanya aneh.. perasaan…..” and what was that?!?! blue?! green?! YAK!! BERJAMUR, saudara2!!!!! we got our coffees+cake on the house. but they didnt serve us another cake (or did they? forgot..). oh well we were kinda full anyway. we did realise that we could sue their asses off but that would just be very mean and im sure what comes around does go around. besokannya kita berdua rada sugesti2 sakit perut gitu de. untung perutnya perut indo, dah biasa makan di pinggiran jalan yg jumlah bakterinya pasti ngga kalah sama jamur yg seuprit itu.

so yes.. thats why, homemade cakes are definitely the way to go!!

YUUUUUUK awal juni ntn cirque du soleil !!
YUUUUUUK awal agustus snowing 3 hari !!

AARGH.
yes.

ternyata gak bs cman selembar doang, there’s waaaaaaay too much info T_T. selembar A2 takkan cukup. im thinking.. this’ll take up 4 pages of A2.. okehh 4x$16.20= nyaris $65.. TIDAAAAAAK. harga yg sangat fantastis untuk sebagian dari tugas doang. the booklet is going to cost me around.. hmm 20$ perhaps(if i dont have to reprint things). OH. unless i can print the A2s at uni, smoga sama tony dikasi gratis. klo ngga dooohh matilah ini bokek berat.. mana baru benerin printer. abis banyak banget. halah ini pula.

identity belom juga beranjak. dari kemaren ngerjain ini. nekaaat.. and i dont even know the requirements for that presentation. okeh. better do that TOMORROW!!! omg. i hope we dont have to hand in anything yet or else im screwed… BIG TIME. uuuuuuhhh T___T.

wah kalo kaya gini caranya bisa2 gue hari minggu ga ketemu keyo. padahal dah lama ga ketemuan T_T. sedihhh.. uhhhh pastinya harus ngerjain lagi besok malem.

iv been staring at the screen for 4 hours non stop. again. and this is quite pegel ternyata, sitting on the side of my bed. it hurts my back somewhat, ya pegel2 gitu deh. tp enaknya klo udah lagi pegel2, gue tinggal rebahan bentaran for a minute sambil ngulet2 hehehe.

dari 4 jam ini, bahan schedule yg terproses baru stengahnya. but i think the 2nd half ga sbrapa banyak cuz its mostly repeated throughout the document. if this is done, then i can leave it for the time being. to focus on identity!!!

iv finished the booklet, somewhat. sbenernya klo mo sempurna i have to add some more things but im not going to do that to myself. ini mah bener2 cari masalah namanya. im sure tony & emily wont read through the whole document to see to the tiniest details. or.. will they?! OH STUFFIT!!!! gue jadi kepikiran terlalu banyak.

was planning to crash at 4.30.. tp ternyata molor lagi. its 5.47 already.
better sleep.

btw ktb hari ini was really… inspiring. smuanya sharing. mungkin krn jumlah org di ktb tadi cman 9, jadi ini memungkinkan. and i was reminded of a lot of things. cuz its like im leading 2 separate lives. well actually not 2, but mungkin perbandingannya saat ini adalah seperempat banding satu tigaperempat. while i know it should be integrated, with equal portions. what did adit quote? hmm something about “you dont live to serve, but serve to live”. yg pasti i really need to get things into perspective. so thanks to the ppl yg teteupp ngepush gue untuk dateng ktb ^_^.

dah mulai pusing kepala. tandanya untuk tidur.

i like this assignment. i do. but its driving me to the bloody edge!!! it took me a while (slightly too long) to get into the project, but as with everything else, once you get your head around it things will start to clear itself out.. sorta.

oke. so this is info design. the objective is to (re)design the informatics of an existing festival. the original brief went on and on about websites which left us all with HUGE questionmarks at the start, but as it turns out we can choose our own application as long as it shows enough information.. that being sitemaps, tables, graphics, yadda.. now i was originally going to do something local. but then at the first sesi tanya jawab ama kelas i got ‘inspired’ by a classmate to do something bilingual! but of course!!! this would be a perfect opportunity to something dutchy. but oh boyyyy turns out that it requires nearly twice as much work -__-*.

so my outcome was going to be a program book. format is A3 divided in 3 parts, so that creates one side in dutch and the other one in english.
like so..

english side

dutch side

reads like this

if folded out, looks like that. but this is not how you read it, obviously.

now.. iv only done the english part. that is nearly finalised, and only then will i start doing the dutch side. mr ward then came with the question “do you have anything else to add to this document?”. i was like WHAAAAATTTT?!?! tp yeh while waiting for my consultation slot i DID think about something, but thot that it would only stay as an idea.. so to fill up my very empty process journal so to speak heheh. but oh tidaaaaaakk. faced with that question i blurted out that i was going to do some sort of poster. yg skaligus juga jadi infosheet/mapping. HALAH. BLOODY BILINGUAL JUGA. WHAT WAS I THINKING?! its going to be different from the existing document tho. its pointless to just copy paste, right.
so thats going to look something like this

…hopefully. yah in that spirit lah. no imagery, or at least.. only the location map if that fits. basically ini perincian dari acara2 yg di schedule.

now this meant another few hours of extracting info from the web. plus i had to add the pages up cuz it needs to be kelipatan 4 kannn.. so to achieve that, i had to extract EVEN MORE info. in both languages. HAYAAAAHH.

mind you, the presentation is due wednesday which is if im not mistaken 4 days from now (saturday doesnt count. thats my sunday^^). untung nanti baru presentation ‘doang’. individually presented pula, so its not wasting time. everything in its whole due the week after. well the thing is.. next week identity design’s presentation is also due. OHMY now its the other way around, iv been neglecting that somewhat. HADOH. tolong tolong toloooooongggg… berikan saya kekuatan untuk terus bisa bergadang dan konsentrasi. juga pada smua teman2 yg rata2 berada pada posisi yang sama. EDANNNNNN..

twisting mr mayer’s words a bit..
my stupid idea has got me in trouble.. T_____T

one day i will read this again and laugh pitifully.
cuz by then the projects will most likely be even crazier!!! *___*

i just remembered. this is ever so creepy!! it was on the news today.. the headline was a girl got assaulted. tp kok mukanya familiar?! alumni swin juga, org indo. 2 years above me. i sorta recognised her cuz she used to be on my tram last year..

she was assaulted on orrong road. a guy threatened her with a knife, wanted to take her bag. she wasnt badly hurt, no bloody wounds sih. tp bruises..wuhhh scaaaryyyy.. friggin orrong rd! thats a little bit too close.
the guy is a serial attacker, waiting out in areas such as armadale/prahran, st yarra, richmond trus katanya sejak kemaren di clayton south juga. agak saiko.

need to remind myself to remind metta klo dia pulang agak2 malem.. eventho the tramstop is just steps away. ughh.. males de klo dipikir2. gak ada salahnya keep on allert!
