here is our t shirt design:

these free t shirts are to be handed out to young ladies at bars, gyms, and other public social hubs throughout the portland metro area. it aims to garner the attention of the males in our demographical age range, and hopefully will inspire some car-driving lads to ride the max. even if they're not riding the max necessarily to cut down on auto emissions, then they'll certainly be riding to meet all these girls they've been missing out on (and if that's the case, well then case and point: our plan has worked).

The issue of global warming is not
a new one and has been around for many years. Although it seems
that it is becoming more and more recognized lately, there are still
people who may not know about some of the effects or ways they can help
the cause. There are many programs and groups out there pushing
the issue and trying to increase awareness of global warming.
We are here to do just the same.
Our campaign has a target audience
of families living in neighborhoods or communities, particularly in
suburban or city areas. The main point we want to get across to
them is that they can start making a difference on a large scale issue
just by doing little things to help the cause. "Every little
bit counts" will be a message we give to naysayers who dismiss
global warming (for one reason or another), in an attempt to make them
realize that recycling and carpooling are obvious things we can do to
better our world, and would only be beneficial regardless of their views
on the "global warming" problem.
We are talking to individuals, couples,
and families who live in suburban or city areas that are a part of a
community or neighborhood environment. That leaves some room for
questioning and is not very specific, but that is because we believe
that everyone can help make a difference. The people who will
be impacted by this are people who might already believe that global
warming is becoming an issue but do not know what they can do to help.
The current perception of our audience
is that some issues are causing problems and will effect the future
of their world. Our campaign will solidify that perception and
let them know where are ways to help. This issue may not directly
effect the audience in their lifetime. But knowing that doing
little things now will make the world a better place is something we
are counting on to be motivation for them to make a change. This
is an issue that has been around for a while not and is becoming more
and more recognized every day.
After seeing our campaign the audience
will begin to take steps to promote recycling and to reduce the carbon
footprint in their neighborhood. We will get them to do that by
showing them that they are very little things that are not that hard
to take the time to do. It will not be a life changing act that
will effect the way they live their day to day lives, but in the end
have a much greater impact on a larger scale when everyone works together.
This campaign is to focus on what we want people to do, which will make
them realize how good it will feel to know why will be making difference.
If you teach your children at a young age to recycle, then they will
grow up and pass on those morals to their children, and their children's
children...
Positioning statement:
"Making a difference is easier
than you think."
Our campaign is a simple reminder
that you don't have to do something amazing to make a change on such
a vast stage. Starting out small will eventually branch out and
will eventually have many people working towards such a noble cause.
The action we want is for then to
make little changes, easy things to do like recycle or utilize different
types of transportation to reduce carbon footprint. The benefit
will come from the good feeling they get knowing they might be helping
better the world for future generations. Not to mention, Mother Earth
can rest happy knowing more people are doing their parts to help her
out.
We believe that through a common
understanding, the decency of mankind can surely out shadow it's invention
of greed, and one day work together towards a greener planet. It is
through understanding that we, as a species, not as divided cultures,
can begin to reverse the carbon footprint placed upon our planet from
hundreds of years of negligence and self-involved dismissive behavior.
Other details and information supporting the issue will be coming soon. Production of a logo for the organization will be coming soon as well as other important information that is incorporated with the campaign.
when i think about which companies i look to constantly for their services, there are a lot.
companies like nintendo, deisel, vans, volcom, taco bell, marshall amplification, and apple come to mind when i think about manufacturers whose products come with a long-term, very much loving stigma for me. if i had to narrow it down, i would have to land on nintendo as a company i've looked to and admired my entire life. their products have always, and continue to, literally rock my socks off.
just seeing this logo

leaves me feeling nostalgic and hopeful as i relish in my times spent clutching one of the many gameboys or system's controllers (as i've owned one of everything that they've released...)
i'll list my steps: (nes, snes, game boy, game boy color, n64, game boy advance, game cube, nintendo d.s., wii...)
as far as loyalty goes, i've always had a nintendo in the house, since as long as i can remember. the term 'nintendo' floods my mind with countless references (such as mario, luigi, and yoshi). these are characters i relate to, have fond memories of, and will continue to look to for a great gaming experience.
as far as my emotions goes, they are all involved (aside from taste) when gaming. it's all dependent on my perception of the digital world based on my reacting senses. now, if nintendo marketed a mario brand lasagna, i'd surely purchase it and give my pallet a taste of that little number...
the mystery that surrounds this lovemark for me, is that besides it making me a dork for loving it, it's that i don't care that i'm perceived as one.
i can honestly say that i love nintendo.
the mystery is in how much more they can make me love them via future nintendo installments.
ahh, nintendo. if you had a uterus, i'd say "we should make babies, you and i...".
shouldn't the due dates for this class be on fridays, seeing as how the class is supposed to be held on fridays?
*EDIT:
Regardless of popular beliefs, "global warming" is an addressable problem.
Global warming calls for swift action by it's creators: Humans.
Mt. Hood was recently declassified from a glacier to a snow field. What was the cause of this? Global warming? Typical planetary changes? If the threat is indeed worthy of a title, and is not just a normal temperate fluctuation that planets go through, then there is a need for change. However, if there is no perceivable threat and global warming is all a conspiracy, who would it hurt to still attempt to better our ecosystem? Surely our grandchildren’s grandchildren could bask in the benefits...
here we go:
the issue i'm choosing to address via this virtual network, is global warming.
ahem.
global warming: fact or fiction?
perhaps al gore is right, perhaps he is wrong.
hear me out on this...
perhaps, it doesn't matter. ride a bike, take the bus, don't drive a hummer, recycle, buy a prius, stop smoking, don't litter...
does there need to be a perceivable "threat" with a solid identifiable-identity to call for a need to preserve our near-perfect eco system?
nay, i say nay.
it only took mother nature like 6 billion years to perfect this one, though, so...
whatev.
thoughts?
hello, digital peers and instructors!
i'm stumbling from the get-go with using this website, but i think i've finally got the hang of it.
plus, it's WAAAAYY better than voicethread.com. that website is like a torture-device. i can't make it do anything.
ah, yes...
