Design Awards and Exhibition

Below are my finished posters. They all have a barcode in which the public can scan on their phones, this will then take them to either an app or webpage where they can donate money to the local RSPCA branch.  below are my finished designs for the web page/app. i tried to keep it simple as i didn't want to confuse the public when all they were trying to do was quickly donate some money. 

these are some images from my photoshoot this afternoon at the RSPCA dog kennels. As i have a lot of good quality photos of the dogs but not of the cats as i had to use my phone, i will be changing the posters and ads about fighting/stoping canine/dog neglect instead of animal neglect. i feel this will give my posters a better context as the only photos i have to use which are of the right quality are of dogs, if i were to promote stoping animal neglect in general i feel people would question why the posters only show dogs.  this is not a hinderance as dog neglect is actually a subject big to me and something i am personally involved in helping. i feel dogs are massively miss understood and certain types of breeds get wrongly accused and labelled. i am happy with the decision and root i am going down with advertising to stop dog neglect. 

Below are some photos from the RSPCA cattery. As this shoot was such short notice i was not able to book a camera out in time so these photos were all taken on my phone. This was not ideal by any means but i had the opportunity to go and take photos so personally i felt it was worth it, even if only one photo turns out ok.  As you can see a lot of the photos are blurry. It is frustrating as i know i could have taken some really nice images with a camera but as the deadline is near these photos will have to do for the cats. 

Below is my initial design mock ups for the app. I wanted to create a user face which was simple and easy to navigate with a professional minimalist design. The app would consist of three pages; the first being the home page where the user can choose to donate. The second page would be the donate page where the user will be taken to once they clocked on the donate button on the home page. From here the user can choose how much they want to donate. once they have chosen ho much to donate they will be sent to a thank you page where the app recognises there contributions and presents links to the RSPCA social media pages so the user can see and follow where there money is going and what help it is giving. 

After researching into app designs i found that a lot of them try to keep a simplistic style as apps are used on phone screens so there is not a lot of real estate to use. due to this you don't want to have a crowded space as text won't be legible and the whole design would feel overcrowded.  below are some examples of modern app designs:  As you can see from these images, a lot of the app designs are minimal and use shapes and photographs to build up the bulk of the interfaces display.  After looking at app design n general i started to look at app designs for donation services. i came across a blood donation app and an app called 'SnapDonate'.  Below are images of these apps:  This app allows someone to donate to a specific charity as it recognises the charities logo on a poster, billboard etc. The software i would be using would be a barcode in which someone could scan and be taken directly ...

Below are three poster mock ups for my poster campaign to bring about change and awareness to animal neglect and cruelty. 

Due to the severe weather in the midlands the women  was meeting from the rspca was snowed in and could not attend the meeting. this then had to be postponed unttill the 2nd of january for when she was back in work. due to these circumstances i wasn't able to produce the finished posters until i undertake the photoshoots so throughout this christmas break i will be mocking up posters with photographs from the internet and will be designing what the donation app may look like.
