The one which didn't quite work

For the D&AD project I wanted to
include some reverse graffiti.
I made this stencil which says
"you know where to get the
cheapest pints, but where do you
go for everything else ".
After making the stencil I went
to B&Q to get a thin wire brush
and some mould remover.
These are the tools that I needed
to clean the stencil out on to the
pavement.
I went to bristo square in the early
hours to carry out my mission because
reverse graffiting is not legal.
After a while of cleaning I saw that
it was not working so left the scene
mildly pissed off.
Looking back on this I could have used
a pressure hose but didn't have the budget
or time.


D&AD

I choose to do the Which? brief and wanted to engage
with a target market between the ages of 19-30.
To do this I surveyed people between 20-27
to get an idea of what they wanted and what was
important to them.
After receiving the surveys back I got useful
information which I acted on.
The participants said that they would like interesting
graphics which spoke to them on their level.
I thought about how I could do this and after
brainstorming came up with a slogan based
campaign.
I wanted to use the everyday environment to
target my audience. I played with environment
and guerrilla graffiti and was inspired by
yarn-bombing and reverse graffiti.
