Our next project is field focusing on social media campaigns are a group project. ‘Bringing social isssues to light’ is the purpose of this project. After the launch as a group we were thinking about which social topic to focus on. We started to make a mind map on social issues. There were some of the ideas we came up with. Homelessness was mentioned as we thought there isn’t enough attention from media. Also, bullying and abortion was mentioned which are very important social topics that should be drawn attention in society. Also, mental health focusing on men. This topic was the one which everyone liked and thought we could have really good outcomes.
The mind map above is our thinking process and draw Thinking about what area can we focus on. Why are we doing our campaign about this trying to figure it out. Having our group talk I think it would be really good to focus on the stigma in society about men shouldn’t be emotional or men should not cry. In society there are strong pressure on men which they shouldn’t be ‘feminine’ they shouldn’t cry or feel depressed. Men don’t speak about there mental health and no one really speaks about this problem. Creating a mind map as a group really helped us because everyone could participate and say there own ideas.
We started to focus on one topic which everyone felt confident the most was mental health issues focusing on men. We started to gather some ideas on how the branding and visuals should be like. The colour and font is very important aas we’re doing visual posters and they need to attract peoples attention and make them take it seriously.
