About Harlem Advocacy 海报系列

《哈莱姆倡导》(Harlem Advocacy) 是为纽约市哈莱姆区一项公共健康倡导计划所创作的系列广告宣传海报。海报将品牌标识组合与插画图标相结合,每个图标代表一项服务,如医疗、社会、教育或就业支持。主海报将所有图标汇集呈现;在公共投放时,该系列被拆分为多张单幅海报,每张以大尺寸突出展示一个图标。视觉风格受波普艺术影响,使当地居民能够迅速识别各项服务。

Unique Properties: This is a series of advertising campaign posters designed for Harlem Health Advocacy Partners, an organization under the New York City Department of Health. To help the residents in Harlem know more about the services from this organization: medical, social, educations, job-related, etc, these campaign posters include a brand lock up, various illustrated and designed icons, representing different services, to promote this program provided by New York City Department of Health.
Dimensions & Packaging: Digital Design and Illustrations, Printed poster size 24 x 30 inches.
Tags: graphic design, poster, illustrations, social service, poster design
Production Technology: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign, Adobe Photoshop.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge in this project has been that since the audiences of this campaign are very specific, it needs to find the right balance between messaging and visual communications, in order to help the Harlem residents understand the messaging of this campaign easily and quickly. But at the same time, the design style of the posters needs to convey this "Harlem Style", in order to grab attention and promote the services from Harlem Health Advocacy Partners.
Research: The research process of this project starts with brainstorming how to convert a government/social service project into an eye-catching and fun project. The research objective was to do as many competitive researches, statistically and visually, as possible, in order to help understand the needs of Harlem residents.
Inspiration: The inspiration for this project comes from the location where Harlem Health Advocacy Partners mainly focuses on helping: Harlem. Since the main audiences that are benefited from this program are residents living in the Harlem community, the look and feel of this project should have this Harlem vibe, in order to resonate with the residents. To communicate with the residents in a clear and easy-understood way, these posters are heavily visual graphics and illustration orientated, influenced by pop art and design style.
Project Duration: This project started in June 2017 in New York City and finished in September 2017 in New York City.
Operation Flow: There is one main campaign poster, which includes all the illustrated visual icons graphics. And when the posters are out for distribution in public, they will be broken into the individual poster with one single icon zoomed in, representing that specific service provided by Harlem Health Advocacy Partners.
