Communication is a Virus // Initial Research

Our initial idea was to create posters that we could give the homeless so that they could generate money from younger audience who like there signs instead of writing on cardboard boxes; Here some images of the homeless; 







We thought that if we created better signs with more purpose // enthusiasm and meaning then maybe the designs ould attract more people to actual make a donation:

Here are some examples of posters that could work well:

I thought the above poster would be effective in bring in attention - its sean simple and very effective.

Free bin bags given to people that communicate when waiting to be taken away:




After reconsidering our idea to give homeless people signs to help the money they gain we began thinking what would be the most effective and productive way we could get people involved and help the homeless. We decided that the most realistic way we could do this was to promote a collection in college, encouraging people to bring in a can of something that we can go and donate to St Georges Crypt, this will allow us to design and print a range of materials that we can put around college to get people involved. We could also set up a Facebook/ twitter page to raise awareness. We will be able to measure the success of our campaign by the amount of donations we receive.
