Taking Private Thoughts into Public View!

It's hard to begin to talk about something that you never wanted to end. However, all good things, whether we like it or not, must come to an end.

Solely because, something far greater is awaiting us. Theoretically, or should I say arguably, what has just been accomplished has been made the qualifier, for a legitimate entry into the next phase.

The final project in the class of public advertising was literally a blast! Working with a large group has heightened my sense of awareness of being an intricate piece to a much grander scheme. One that extends far beyond my little scope of expertise.

It wasn't long, that I came to the realization that "mission" doesn't revolve around one's personal concept, but rather, a larger collective construct. This social strategy was so refreshing to the spirit of not having to bear the creative load all by oneself.

I bear witness, and wholeheartedly attest, teamwork doesn't seem like work, when everyone bears the load, to take the vision from faith to fruition.

The amount of creative energy that circulated through the atmosphere, on this last project, was nothing short of awe-inspiring. One could not help but rise to the occasion, with that much talent pushing towards an expected performance that was indicative to our proper training throughout the semester of assignment in our Creative Design in Public course.

This collective effort to give voice towards a viable choice, that is CM's new degree program, possess the potential to produce benefactors on both sides of the creative fence. For those already within, and those coming in, the sky is the limit in tapping their untapped potential in our newly offered courses.

It is true; you do reap what you sow. However, what is often times reaped is far greater than what was actually sown. Such was the case on this final project. A plethora of career building attributes were abundantly harvested in the area of public designing for such a small contribution of a single semester...Thank you, Professor Sharla!

When it rains, it pours! Brainstorming with the A-Team.

Just like the opening title alludes too, this was brainstorming time with the "A" team's finest.

Yes, Indeed. It was time to get down to the bare bones and brass tacks of the meat of the matter. Our chief aim was to create a theme, a mood, a direction the would intrigue, excite and inspire enrollment into Creative Media's new Bachelor degree program at UH West Oahu.

Therefore, the title message, the look, the feel, the context and the overall message of our new deliverable all had to be discussed, voted-on and then submitted for final approval by our in-house client, Professor Sharla.

However, this was easier said than done. Especially, when you have a team full of creative and talented people. A lot of toes, egos and big noses were stepped on & pinched in the process; and that was just in the 1st 10mins...lol.

Needless to say, a lot of ideas were bei thrown out there, only to be marked, "returned to sender", to be reworked over again.

I am so very proud to announce that we did come up with a wonderful campaign slogan: "Create, _____, Inspire" (underneath the middle blank space the words, "You fill in the blank" are written) with the corresponding hashtag, #FillInTheBlank

I believe this conceptual design is so very clever of us. Not only do we incorporate the viewer, while conveying our content, but we also intrigue as well as inspires the many perspective Creative Media enrollees.

In short, whatever he or she wants to be, see, or even make-believe within that deliberate blank slot in the middle, the Creative Media Department has allocated, in advance, the space needed and made plenty of necessary room for them to spread their wings within the given parameters of the program.

What better place to give a creative heart and an imaginative spirit room express themselves, than right in between "create" and "inspire".

The indelible impression, The "A" Team is trying to make on the hearts and minds of the potential students, current or transitioning ones, is that they create the product that will ultimately inspire those who will view their creation years to come.

If truth be told, the only thing that could ever go in that blank space, is their unique ability to express themselves.

Teamwork Doesn't Seem Work!

Team A, makes no apologies for using a plethora of photos to substantiate the claim of the cutting edge, state-of-the-art, innovative experience. An experience that only the new Creative Media's BA degree program can successfully offer it's current and transferring students.

Yes; that's right! There's something new for the creative heart and the imaginative spirit at UH West Oahu! Whether coming or going, this "Game Changing" celebration is guaranteed to catapult the occupational careers of it's Creative Media graduates forever!

Knowing that proper preparation prevents a poor presentation, this groundbreaking edition to UH West O'ahu starting lineup, has been a long time in coming. Now! Not only is the wait over, but also the ambiguous of the previous Humanities degree course description, is too.

Just think of it, prospective employers will now know specifically what the graduated student knows proficiently. Here in the Creative Media Department, that has always been our chief aim, and we could not be more pleased.

Not only will the transferring student know what's being done within the department's innovative program, but they'll have a great sense on how thorough it's being done, as well.

Within this new Bachelor's degree program, industry secrets will be uncovered, technology skills will be taught, logistical lessons will be learned, and stylized abilities will be sharpened.

Lastly, several sustainable strategies and timely transitional tactics for a relevant and more impactful career in Creative Media will be a very viable resource that can never be taken away!

Do'n my "Fart" to fight Colon Cancer.

This is my finish design for assignment number 5, Cause ad. As you can see, I brought two Corp. entities (companies) together that wouldn't normally go together. However, they are directly related to one another's "Bottom" line.

After my first round of presentation, it was brought out I need to accentuate the aspect of the beans that will help out the cause of the United American Cancer Society. And that one aspect, would be the "fiber" factor.

So, after much prayer and some "me" time to think, I believe that The Most High blessed me with a clever solution to the "Colon" question.

Every time I read it, I get a good "gut- butt" laugh! I want to think that this newly revised caption works perfectly.

The notion is that cereal fiber is the leading form of fiber that fills bowls Across America, is being challenged, here. Judging from my choice of words used, I strongly beg to differ. My argument is, bean fiber fills just as much, if not more, bowls in America then one can shake a stick at.

So, it's a battle! The cereal bowl versus the toilet bowl. With this ad, I'm allowing the viewer to be the judge on which fiber bowl fulfills / plays a better role when speaking on colon cancer?

Reflecting on the Elderly; 65 minus

Today was the 2nd of a reflection on what youth researched, strategized and produced for the elderly. It was a combination as well as a culmination of everybody's hard work done in tandem, in pairs and in unison.

It was a celebration of random partnerships working together for one specific end; that being, the reduction of elderly frustration in the everyday affairs of the 65 and over senior citizen population.

Once again, It was a conscious commitment towards eliminating the unnecessary as well as accentuating what is mandatory for a senior to succeed in everyday social affairs, things that us young folks seem to take for granted.

The total consensus around the room seems to be that the elderly really needs help with their driver license renewal process. Seems to me, out of eight couples in the class, six of them done a project that was directly related to the renewal process and or the driving licence experience.

Working with Skye, was a joy to do. It felt as if I was on front row in VIP seating on the "No Stress Express". Not only was she extremely thorough in her taking of notes, but also in the planning stages, as well. She seemed to be a natural-born strategist.

What Skye would do is, set the perimeters as well as the basement as the ceiling. After providing the framework...I was free to create a masterpiece within.

Skye and I had an award-winning chemistry for creating sensational work for the vision impaired, mobily challenge, as well as, technology illiterate 65 and over crowd.

This exercise, I believe, was a celebration dedicated towards a talents that you, yourself did not possess. On the same token, this project was about an unique social giftings that someone else did not possess, but had to learn how to appreciate that aspect about you in order to get this project done right.

All Gas, No Brakes Against Colon Cancer! Assmt. 5

That's right; All Gas, no brakes against colon cancer! On so many different levels this ad, slogan, campaign works!

Not only did The Most High blessed me to courageously address this scourge of society, a known serial- colon cancer; but, it was done in such a humorous way that the "unmentionable" became palatable to the public.

Very seldom do we talked about the number 2 aspect of consumption. It's always the oral intake, that Americans are much more concerned about; but never the exiting process. So, I thought to tackle this disparaging dilemma in a humorous, yet still "tasteful" way, because we're dealing with some of the best tasting beans I've ever had- Bush beans.

By no means, am I suggesting that Bush beans are the cure for colon cancer, however, I am suggesting that this is a viable preventive measure. This "preemptive" strike against something that seeks to strike-out humanity, was halted and outed in it's tracks with this ad campaign. "All Gas, No Brakes Against Colon Cancer"

The very fact that beans are enriched with fiber, which will helps with the fast-moving food process along with the keeping of regularity, things would rapidly move towards prevention!

Intestinally, beans in general, how much more tasty Bush beans, aid in the non-blockage and the subsequent zero-clustering of toxic waste materials.

If truth be told, I thought that this was a unlikely odd-couple, Bush beans and the American Cancer Society, at first. However, the more I thought about it, it was a no brainer, and definitely a non-sensical fit.

Now, the likelihood of these two corporations partnering for this "Cause" is highly, most unlikely. Probably because the Cancer Society doesn't know how to take a joke nor would Bush want to confuse the public to think that cancer is caused by their product.

This is most unfortunate, if those two corporations; sould they ever work out their differences...they would have a promising future in the area of colon cancer research and or colon cancer preventive. Well, you saw it here first.

With these ads, I merely thought to start the conversation, that hopefully people would conclude, as I have, food is good for not only oral sensation but for bodily medication, as well.

Colon Cancer, a pain in the butt! Nip it, in the "Can"...

With statistics like: "1 out of every 22 men and 1 out of every 24 women" will possibly come into the displeasing reality of colon cancer, being thrown out by the American Cancer Society;

And, "Of cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. It is the third most common cancer in men and in women." by the Center of Disease Control, is there any wonder why this subject has to be addressed and systematically nipped in the Can?

Well, that question is a rhetorical one, for we all know the answer to it. You don't have to be a colon cancer patient to understand that dealing with its symptoms can definitely be a pain in the butt. So, that's why we have to stand up and fight for the right to sit down in peace!

Busche beans has partnered with the American Cancer Society to come up with an proactive approach ad campaign that will help prevent the pain of the can with a can of their own.

Here are a series of rough sketches, 20 in all, on my approach to addressing this problematic situations in a humorous way. By no means, am I making light of the severity of the condition, however, I feel the humor has a way of conveying truth in a non-intrusive way.

Here's the idea behind the partnership. With beans being rich in fiber, naturally aiding the "poop" process, the likelihood of toxic matter becoming lodge and subsequently festering in the lower intestines would be greatly reduced. Which could seriously prevent the production of the favorable environment that supports the development of colon cancer.

Therefore, the can of beans would promote and maintain a safe passage way from one Busche bean can to your own in the bathroom.

Age, is just a number; and that number is 65!

Well, here it is! The pass to go way past 65 and drive unhindered as well as unchecked.

These series of designs are the brainchild of Skye's and I's remedy to the Aging Population's social challenges; specifically, in the area of vehicular transportation.

As we all know, "aging" is a debilitating condition. It is a discrete thief that steals from our personal accounts of visibility, mobility and understandability on a daily basis. It's not a matter of, if it takes, as it is, how much it takes. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, all of us would have been robbed of what we just had, the day before.

Therefore, we specifically wanted to streamline the driving renewal experience for our aging community of seasoned driver.

Firstly, addressing the content verbage on all our revamped literature. We wanted it to be concise and clear as well as identifiable and comprehendible at the senior citizen age level - 65+

Secondly, we spent considerable time in deep thought about the overall effectiveness of our color choices and the comprehension of those colors by our elderly recipients. Chiefly, our revamped drivers license renewal reminders that would be sent by snail-mail. Our passionate aim is to have our mailers to be empowering and not overpowering for our Ka'pona.

Not having all the answers, we turned to the experts of color-Sherman and Williams. Use their research on the subject of aging and color, we were generously provided a wealth of information on how to move forward with our designs when choosing our color composition for the target audience.

Lastly, we wanted to create an identifying marker / icon, that can be associated with the elderly once he/she is granted a renewal to their once pre-existing driver license permit.

This marker will be an universal symbol that a seasoned veteran is behind the wheel. And for all those who would follow, much like the "baby on board" sticker in the back window of a mini-van, would know to exercise a generous amount of empathy for the Aged motorist.

Therefore, Yahawa/Yahawashi blessed Skye & I to come up with a symbol that we hope will be universally known and globally used as the "Seasoned Motorists" is behind the wheel trademark. So, Heads-up!

Overlooked the Tallest Overlooker in the Kingdom (Assmt. #3)

This tall skyscraper of a mammal was no small order in capturing 12 high contrasting images for an iconic symbol.

Let me tell you, adult bull giraffe aren't as docile as one would think. Despite him being a strictly leaf-eating fanatic, he packs a pretty hefty punch when it comes to fighting back from being captured on paper.

Yes; this overgrown horse put up one heck of a fight, being in the comfort of my own home. However, he was no match for my tag teaming partner, YouTube. Talk about calling a lifeline...lol After 3 videos, and not a video before, I started to get the concept of the whole "pathway" assistant illustration thingy.

Solving the mystery of making an outline design, from a photo image, in Photoshop, was undertaking that I definitely needed a helmet and a pair of boxing gloves to perform.

I have not yet mastered this technique, however, "exposure" was the very seed I needed to grow, in the understanding of knowing what tools are available and are at my disposal in order to get the job done.

In short, once I got the initial image outlined on the screen, using the pen tool, I went to town! I then duplicated the finished layer and proceeded with my high contrasting, blk & wht, variations. At that point, it was smooth sailing on the "No-Stress" express...it was a blast!

The "Type" of personality that stands out in a crowd!

On Thursday, we were given a 10-minute in-class exercise, to apply personality to two public signage that were both aesthetically challenged.

Using our choice of any stylized typeface, along with the sensory grabbing factor of color, we were tasked to breathe life into two public, dead-on-arrival, announcements.

Our choices of type and color had to reflect and project, in a visual way, the sentiment, as well as, the intensity of the message that was being conveyed to the public.

My one choice of typeface that I felt added emphasis, personality and flare, to those lackluster walls of words was, "Freehand Script"

To me, this typeface definitely embraces the spirit of "No Boundaries" or "Limitless Possibilities" to the viewer. It brings a unique stylization to a mundane situation. Universally, it gives a personal touch amongst a bevy of words out in the public arena.

The color choice in the first one to me was a no-brainer. I wanted to go outside of the status quo by opting for something a little unusual. However, not compromising the value of punch as well as the stopping power it takes to convey a message.

On the first one I went with burnt orange instead of the traditional red. I felt that burnt orange gave me exactly what red could but because it's outside of the norm, it provided a subtle whisper of style, as well.

As for my second color choice, I went with the iconic 80s turquoise, to represent my "old school" choice.

Every age has a synonymous, iconic, lifetime landmark. The 80s we're no different. In style, in fashion, and in advertisement, pastels and neon colors where in vague! Therefore, indicating my "old school" timeline with turquoise was one of the smartest decisions made in this design revamping.

As for the hard-hitting, strong foundational typeface used to make an impact, I chose the right one to do the job. "Impact" bold was my choice to put strong emphasis on the seriousness of both events.

Impact bold is large and in charge and I needed it to stay that way within these two designs. I wanted the message to be conveyed with authority, as well as, make an indelible impression in/on the viewer's memory banks.

The appropriate "Type" of poster for children.

This was a very challenging as well as an intellectually contorting project. My concept of what was being asked had to wraparound my ability to produce.

I had a strong idea on what I wanted my piece to look like, however, to bring it to pass was the most time-consuming part of it all. Truly, my creative prowess was chomping at the bit but it was my lack of wisdom to transport thought to "Type" for this project was slow getting out the gate...lol.

As a creative person, I don't think that I would ever want to be "unchallenged", however, when working with something new I have to understand that it will be time-consuming.

I heard it once said, The only way to grow, is it be stretched out of one's comfort zone. To that statement, I'm here to affirm, truer words have never been spoken.

With that being said, and the world of design, the familiar remains extremely comfortable, and to push beyond its borders, is time consuming to the arrogant.

For me, a lot of "Uncharted Territory" has to be covered in order to get from where I am, to where I exactly want to be. Which means, more often than not, a lot of trial and error are going to be intermingled with a plethora of mistakes and miracles.

I found this out first hand. Although, there were times of frustration, irritation and perspirations...The Most High, Yahawa/Yahawashi still allowed me to come out on the other side victorious and very satisfied.

All Praises to The Most High, Yahawa/ Yahawashi. And also a special shout-out to Professor Sharla for giving me extended time to work-out my inner creativity onto a relatively new external medium.

The "Skye" is the limit; when it comes to designing for the elderly!

As you can imagine with a pun / play on words, Skye, my colleague and I, are teamed up to confront and conquer the many challenges that the elderly face when recertify themselves for a driver's license as they reach, and surpass the age of 65.

Between Skye and myself, there has been many of correspondences as well as meetings, in order to face the debilitating problems that accompany age, head-on. With this direct and deliberate approach to content confrontation, the hopes is that our collective creative abilities would streamline the process and make the necessary steps, to be taken, user-friendly, comprehensible, as well as effortlessly in achieving specific objective goals.

I myself will be working on the revamping of a driver's license as well as the new 2020 series license plate for the 65 plus older crowd. My vision is to make it not only visually noticeable but sensory noticeable as well.

My colleague, she will be focusing on a streamlined 5-step brochure, as well as, a kinder reminder mailer to the home of the aged renewer. This mailer would subsequently be returned and processed more efficiently due to the newly revamped card would possess all the pertinent information, and less of the unnecessary stuff, needed for the Department of Transportation to grant an accurate and timely renewal.
