Description of idea
Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:
My idea is to resemble the word DEBT as a heavy weigh by showing it in a scale. The other side of the scale is a lady that spend a lot on life expenses , thus the debt is increasing drastically.
What kind of communication approach do you use?
Visual communication , since it shows symbols to interact with the viewer to deliver the message being sent
What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?
It delivers the message of constant spending on daily routine , and the consumption is more than the income of the debtor. So, the society must learn to be preservative and not consume more than they can.
What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?
I learned to be thankful for what i have , to spend wisely and try to be responsible of my own life expenditures and not pilling the loans till the end where they become impossible to pay back
Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?
its is good because the scale that is shown to compare both weighs is a good symbol to show how heavy weighted a word can be compared to a person weigh who spends a lot.
Where and how do you intent do implement your work?
Posters in public places, especially in malls and shopping places because thats where most people spend carelessly without looking at the consequences.
