make up class

hey guys to remind u all

we meeting at at Monday NOV 30 – 6 PM

hey guys

emailed cheyenne about 2041/robert swan high res images 2 weeks ago but she havent got back yet, so wondering if any of you have the email to the other person that was up for grabs?

best,

ras

2 0 4 1 

In general when writing this I’m thinking of 2041 as something larger. And though I’m not the biggest supporter of growth I’m convinced this organization has to grow.  

Robert Swan would still be the leading character but it cant be dependent on him. Its not efficient and it will not be possible for him to go on as he’s doing. He needs a plan.

2041 needs to have a simple message to circle around, a main goal. ex 

”preserve Antarctica”

”become a leader in saving the environment”

”journey for cleaner energy”

2041 needs a headquarter, preferably in London. 

2041 needs money, to get started they should look in to government funding and private sponsors. Then they should have membership based supporters. 

You become a supporting member for $30-50 a year. 

In return you get a magazine 6 times a year. 

Other gadgets for members could be:

– A really nice poster to hang on the wall, made by an artist. A new poster are produced every year on the theme Antarctica or environment (a suggestion of a poster could be: 10 daily things u can do to live green)

– A wall calender

– Stickers

NB > No unnecessary products, no teddy bears, mugs etc. All the things are made by recycled paper and easy (flat) to send in the mail.

MAGAZINE

The magazine will be high quality and also possible to buy in normal stores. The magazine is about environmetlal concern but not entirely. A wide magazine that’s interesting for different ages (see The Big Issue, New York, The New Yorker, Life Magazine) with top articles by top journalists and great photography/illustrations. 

 

C O R P O R A T I O N S

GREEN DAY

Before or instead of having a certification (below) the company have a day of green thinking. With the help from 2041 (a person or a visual guide, possibly from the web page) the company does everything to minimaze it’s footprint. They switch light bulbs, recycle, look in to unneccery use of energy and use of products (wich also save alot of money) etc. 

CERTIFICATION

Certificate B

Having a person from 2041 to educate the management and staff in using less energy, recycle etc. After this the company gets a 2 month test period to change things around, if the pass the company gets an environmental certificate. The 2041 restrictions will be strict. If a company passes the 2041 restriction this means that they accomplish something that is though to achieve. A person from 2041 will show once a year to see if they are still valid of having the certificate. Passing this test gives the company the certificate. Having Certificate B results in:

– Get a diploma

– Show it on their web page

– Have it in their marketing towards costumers (yeah, we gotCertificate B)

Certificate A

The company looks at what in the production and office they can change to have a minimal footprint. That is; what can the company do to cut fossil fuels/energy consumption. And they do it (for real), people from 2041 control the process every 2 month. It is also highly recommended that a company donates money to the FUND. 

Having Certificate A results in:

–  Allow them to use the logo on their products

–  Be shown at the web page under the file ”certificated corporations 2009”. 

–  Have ads in the magazine to a reduced price

–  Have Robert Swan come talking

LOGO

The logo will communicate ”good will” and be proof to customers that this company does what it can to minimize its footprint and also paying attention to global warming and Antarctica. The most important thing with this is trust. The consumer must be sure that this is not another green wash logo. Therefore the restrictions to be allowed to use the logo are very strict and will be fully explained (with real world examples) on the 2041 web page. An idea is to use similar standards as WWF.

FUND/SPONSORSHIP

Money can be donated in a fund. Will keep 2041 running and focus on preservation of Antarctica and education. 2041 also make deals with companies to be visible sponsors and linked to the yatch, education etc.

GRAPHICS

Don’t believe in having a lot of different things to hand out, the web page is the best tool. The page today looks ok but are to boring and messy. I know nothing of webdesign and would suggest that someone with knowladge in this give it a go.

Printed matter would contain:

1 simple catalog, who says it all (not 4 or 5)

The MAGAZINE 

Overall identity (overall graphics, letterhead, business card etc.)

//rasmus

the two first images with logos are suggestions, and the last one are logos that i like, i think all the logos in this page actually could work. no 1 is my favorite, then no 2 and so on.. no 6 is modified versions for logo no 1 to work in a very small size.  know you liked the red, but are afraid that it can be mixed with the canadian flag or a fire station. feel that the blue are more in line with communicating the right message. best, rasmus

chei_2041 flash intro to 2041 website

      Using one of the logos i made for 2041, I thought of creating the opening

      page (by using Flash) before it gets into the actual 2041 website.

      This illustration basically summarizes what 2041 is about, introducing its logo,

      showing how many years are left, where we are now, and what this organization 

      is about (preservation of Antarctica).

The colors got very messed up after I uploaded it, but here are expansions of four of my logos from last week. Click on them for bigger size and to have them not cut off at the edge.

Viral High School Campaign Outline

ok here we go. seems like they get larger if u click on the images

all the best /rasmus

Cheryl wanted me to let you guys know that we're meeting this Wednesday and to have work posted in the blog before then.

See you all on Wednesday

Hi everybody,

we meet again on Wednesday, the 11th. See you there.

Logos/Event

So I have posted a write up of some ideas I had for events that would lead to a viral campaign for Robert Swan. I also attached logos I worked on which steered more towards the idea we talked about with Cheryl of making things more bold and standing out more. I just played around and am not sure if any of them will be suitable but I posted what I worked on.

Events:

Mothers/Children

Focusing on reaching parents while engaging their children with hands on activities. This would probably focus on children anywhere between 7 and 12. Setting up workshops and activities which the parents can bring their children to and while they are preoccupied the parents can attend their own seminars. Lecture can be held to teach parents easy ways to introduce recyclable materials and eco-friendly habits into their home lives and teach them to children.

Children's activities would be set up to teach the kids about what materials are recyclable and which are not. Set up sort of Field days with different competitive games which kids can get excited about but be learning at the same time.

Dumpster Dive: A set up dumpster with different recyclable and non recyclable materials. Kids form teams and have to go through their dumpster and find recyclable materials and build something out of them. First team done wins a prize

Scavenger Hunt: pick a public space and have the children help to clean the litter while locating specific materials. Beneficial in teaching them about recycling while cleaning up a park.

Digging in the Dirt: Parent/child composting workshop

Post Card Contest: Have children draw a postcard and winner's actually gets sent out

High School Students

Introduce a project of organizing, fundraising for, and holding a concert to raise awareness.

Put the kids in charge of different booths with activities and entertainment

Fundraising:
Have auditions for local bands
T-shirt design concert, and then sales.
Have sales to raise money, make jewelry, look for sponsors.
Local business sponsors-maybe a chinese auction, or selling coupon books

In correspondence with this maybe a film festival, teams make a short film to raise awareness. Films will be played and judged at concert, winning team will receive some sort of prize. (donated?)

Actual Event:
Concert
Activity/game/information booths
Film Contest (Make it a battle of the grades type of thing, Freshman vs Sophomores vs Juniors vs Seniors? friendly competition always entices student participation)


THANKS! -ALYSSA

Hi everyone, I've posted my logos for Robert Swan. I decided to focus on the concept of time and see how I could develop it into a logo.

Thanks!

Cheryl

2041 Highschool Outreach Plan

Hi all, I'm posting what I wrote up for Sunday's class since we ran out of time. This is a really rough document so please excuse any grammatical/spelling errors.

2041 Recycle Challenge OVERVIEW


Objective: To educate students about 2041 and get them involved in the organization. Students will learn how to live green and what they can do to educate others. The campaign should create viral buzz, related press and donations.


Mission: The 2041 Recycle Challenge is a nationwide competition for any K-12 school where participating schools compete against each other in a recycling challenge. Students are asked to find sponsors, whether it be a small business owner or a large corporation, to donate a certain denomination per recycled bottle, can or pound of paper. Students are encouraged to get creative in how they bring in recyclables, can they organize a neighborhood donation point? How can they get business involved in submitting their recyclables? Half of the sponsored money will go to the school and the other half will go towards 2041. Students and schools can keep track of their progress through a global “leader board” via the 2041 Recycle Challenge website, twitter or facebook. The top three schools will not only generate the most money for themselves and 2041, but also receive a “School Takeover” sponsored by MTV, VH1, etc. (FPO?)


Results: To encourage teamwork and leadership through a competitive challenge benefitting the environment, education and 2041. Students will not only be educating themselves and others about the benefits of recycling, they will have fun doing it.


Website: The 2041 Recycle Challenge website will be a hub for all aspects of the contest. On the home page, anyone can look up a school and find out how many items they have recycled and how they are placing on the leader board. The website will also contain information about 2041, recycling and going green. Videos of Robert Swan encouraging students and explaining the contest will also be available. Potential news reports will be posted as well. Principals or the designated contest runners can log in to post their school’s current recycling amount which will update real time once it is submitted. The website will also have the option for principals or contest runners to enter the specific breakdown of recyclables (such as paper, cans, bottles) which will be displayed in chart form so students can see how much they consume.


Designed Material:
1. Website
2. Information Brochure with DVD
3. Sponsor sign up form
4. Posters? School take over signs?




How it works:


Step 1: Get schools interested in the contest and 2041 by sending out informational packets to Principals. Included would be an information booklet containing the following:


1. Background about 2041 and Robert Swan
a. What the organization does for the environment
b. How important it is to instill green habits early on
c. How the organization will use the money generated from the contest


2. General contest information
a. rules
b. regulations
c. prizes


3. How to get started
a. Points to the website where Principals can use a sign up form to enter their school
b. Inform the students of the contest using the included DVD with Robert Swan explaining 2041, global warming,
benefits of recycling, and motivating the students to win the contest.
c. Set up recycling bins around the school and keep track of how many items are recycled
d. Submit amount of recycled items to the leader board website
e. Track the schools progress on the website and encourage students to check it often to see how they are
fairing against other schools.


4. How to get sponsors
a. Copy the enclosed sponsor sign up form and hand out to students.
b. Encourage students to go big or go local, sponsors can range from big companies to mom and pop shops to their
next door neighbor.
c. Explain where the sponsorship money is going; half to support 2041’s green initiative, the other half for
their school to use.


5. Make the contest your own!
a. Schools are encouraged to become inventive in how they motivate students to participate. Perhaps schools can
create competition between grades and offer their own prize?

Step 2: Continue promoting the contest and talk to the media and bloggers about what is happening. Try to secure sponsorships for the whole contest from companies willing to chip in for the prize. For example, Macy’s could offer a gift card to every winning student in return for advertising on the leaderboard website or during the school takeover.


Step 3: Announce the winning schools and arrange for the school takeover. (FPO?) Ensure final sponsorship money is collected and distributed to 2041 and the schools.
