Senior Project #3

Sunday, March 13th, 2011 4:00-6:00 PM

Time spent: 2 hours
Total time: 5.5 hours

Today, Matt, Nick, and I began planning our campaign for cancer awareness. We sat and talked about possible themes and slogans and t-shirt ideas.

Matt and I are going to take pictures of cancer survivors. I know someone who is a breast cancer survivor, so I can ask her to help out. With these photos, we are going to make fliers to raise awareness for cancer/Relay for Life.

Nick and Brendan are going to use their graphic design skills to create T-Shirts for us to sell and fundraise for a cancer organization. We don't know which one, yet.

We talked about themes and slogans that would sound nice for our campaign. Here are some ideas:

  • We will survive.
  • Second chances
  • Fire, light.
  • Phoenix
Then, we decided on "Ignited We Stand", playing on the phrase "United we stand". We want to have a phoenix on the shirt also. It's to show how a fire symbolizes hope/awareness; they can be spread just like fire. The phoenix is to show the rebirth or second chance at life for cancer survivors. 

Next, we have to finalize a design and meet up with Brendan.
