Context
This project will introduce you to some of the fundamental skills relating to advertising practice and the exploration of the varied communication platforms available. You will be encouraged to consider how to design and communicate effectively to a specific target audience.

The challenge
This assignment introduces you to advertising design and the experience of working in groups. You will explore the roles of art director and copywriter. You will gain first hand experience of the need for both roles to work collaboratively in the development of ideas and concepts. You will apply this experience within group work that will lead to a creative and inventive application of visual and textual language to solve advertising and brand communication problems.
You are required to develop a message, which your campaign will communicate to its identified audience. A campaign is defined as developing one idea through multiple outcomes or directions. Consider media, environments, and ambient and social contexts. Consider how the message evolves in response to its use over the campaign.

The audience
