Be The Change You Want To See

Be The Change You Want To See

Description:

My “Change” poster is inspired by Gandhi’s quote, “Be the change you want to see in this world”.
I’m a strong believer of this quote & it’s true! We want to make this world a better place, yet sometimes we wait for others around us to do so. But what we forget is change starts with us as individuals. We need to get out and practice what we say & preach & be examples to our families, friends and people around us. What we do should become infectious and people will catch the passion of wanting to change the world.

Adjusting the sails

Description:

This poster deals with the fact that some change is inevitable, and although it may not be desired, by being flexible you can make the most of the situation. It is saying that the ones that “adjust the sails” are the ones that go forward in life. The poster was kept purely typographical to stand out from the rest of the image filled posters plastered around cities.

Monkey Magic

Description:

Many people want to achieve positive change in their lives but don’t know how or believe the task too difficult to achieve. This poster shows that positive change is possible but it must start on a basic level – a big white smile (so easy even a monkey can do it). Not only will smiling make you happy and effect your environment in a positive way it will effect those around you.

Timeline

Description:

“They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” Andy Warhol. You cannot wait around waiting for change, It is up to the individual to make things happen and how you go about it that can make a change for the good. Through the use of lines that represent time, this poster demonstrates the need for involvement to create change.

Gold Stars for Everyone

Description:

This campaign talks to people who are hesitant to loosen up and try new things….people that need a reward or an incentive to change.

We thought a sticker posters made of kiss cut gold stars would do the trick. They’re fun, rewarding and return you to childhood, when fun was the focus of life.

Engaging and interactive, this design is sure to get people smiling…which in our books is a change for the better already.

Change is possible (if we want to)

Description:

n many areas of the world war or violent conflicts still happen every day. Sometimes they just seem to be getting worse, as if there was no solution for them. I don’t believe in such thing as a never-ending fight. This poster stands for what I do believe, that peace is possible if we change our behaviour and our beliefs over the “enemy”. Changing is not an easy thing to do, that is why is happens slowly and gradually, just like the tank pattern turning into the dove pattern. Change is possible, if we want to.

Anyone can…

Description:

This poster aims to challenge every viewer to think about what they would do to make the world a better place. The poster, being a form-like format, also encourages people to write down their ideas. Once someone has written on the poster, it remains not just a poster, but also a message from the heart of the people provoking the thoughts and actions of all those who pass by.

Under Construction

Under Construction

Description:

In a world that is always developing and never complete, a world that is always under construction, it is never too late for change.

The circular ‘under construction’ motif aims to intrigue; it floats in open space creating room for change. The abstract forms allow for changing interpretations. Nothing is absolute.

Smile

Description:

When I designed this poster, my goal was to not touch someone with strong typographic message but I attempt to make a emotional poster. So thats a reason, why I choose a big yellow background with smile. If somebody see this poster and he or she start to smile, I will be satisfied.

COCOON

Description:

I used this famous quote “IF NOTHING EVER CHANGED, THERE’D BE NO BUTTERFLIES” to making my poster because I think it cans simply illustrating the idea. I designed it as a cocoon surrounded by butterfly wing line shapes to make the message visual. Beside, designing the poster in the style and coloures of 60’s can explain better how changes happening in the different decades, even in design. By the way I guess and hope my poster make positive feeling in viewers.

AIN’T SELLING SHIT.

Description:

Change isn’t instant nor do I think a poster can change anyone or anything intensions (especially amongst endless promotional posters) — going back to the brief I simply designed a poster that will stand out amongst the mass of media that exists in our cities through simple typography and the use of white space.

The message in the poster isn’t loaded but instant. The smart-aleck humor is intended to bring a smile to the people that interact with the poster. So the overall change is in peoples moods once having interacted with the poster.

You Can Change

Description:

The idea for the poster is based on the strength and interaction of words CAN and CHANGE. Just as a letter form can change within a word and still be understood, a human being can change in the society still contributing to its development. I hope that the transformation of letters can express the metaphor of a positive change.

Find a change.

Description:

My inspiration of the poster is word search. Anyone had a experience with word search when they were young, and it is very easy as long as you are paying attention. Change is hidden, but it is not difficult to find.

Change starts from the heart

Change starts from the heart

Description:

The basic idea of my poster is that the real change always starts in the heart. It starts with realizing what is important and valuable in our personal lives. Every single person on this planet is unique and has a purpose. If we can find what’s our purpose, what’s makes us happy we can make a difference and contribute to society. My poster represents a to-do list written on a person’s heart. It is a decision to be happy with oneself, to appreciate and value the little things in life and work for a better future.

Change Your Mind

Description:

Change is learning to revisit one’s perception and perspective in order to gain new knowledge and ultimately a fresh experience. The result is inevitably positive that further leads to actions that benefit the individual but more likely, the community and beyond. The origins of change, other than the physical that occur in nature are always from the imagination housed within our minds. The poster simply speaks to the public to literally rethink, how they think and to see that indeed one can change by investing in their own imagination to create change

Open Your Arms

Open Your Arms

Description:

My work is based on the notion that if everyone followed the idea of opening our arms to each other, then the consequences would be substantial. We live in a seemingly selfish society in which people tend to place themselves before or above another. To ‘change’ my world we need compassion; compassion can only come about it we choose to fully embrace the next being.

I have expressed this by showing a girl (myself) putting this into practice. I have chosen to draw her without hands so that her arms are even more overt so they are of main foucs.
