DESIGN NAME: B-U
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Campaign and Branding Design
INSPIRATION: Nowadays, more and more people realized fashion puts so much pressure to have all of the latest trends, it teaches young people that clothes and materialistic items are the most important thing. It sends the wrong message that in order to be pretty and popular, you must have the newest outfits and the latest brands. This gives off the impression that personality is not a factor in shaping who you are. The concept of B-U is trying to influence people (the audience), especially teenagers to discover their own sense of style. Be yourself!
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: B-U is an awareness campaign composed by campaign logo, posters, mail-out items, web banner, and website. It encourages people to follow their own style by empowering individualities. The project utilizes a system based on remixing and collaging pieces together, referencing what is unique about each one of us.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: From logo design, posters, mail-out items, digital banner to web design, every element is trying to engage the audience to discover their own unique side. The idea of remixing and ever changing was used as a consistent visual element across all of the campaign pieces, for example on the B-U logo the U will change randomly between 5 different 'U' shapes. On the booklet, the design lets the user play with the pages to create their own version of the U by flipping through the 2 sections of the book. The banner is about deconstructing and reshaping the different U shapes by raising the attention when people browsing the Internet. And the website provides a platform for the user to get inspired, save the inspiration stories to the U page, and chose to present how they create their own style or simply become their own fashion diary. Overall, this campaign system units one concept - Your Personality, Your Style.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was completed in December 2016, New York.
